Has anyone had luck renting an apartment recently? I'm trying to find a 2-3br in Georgetown, Burleith, Dupont Circle, U Street, or at this point even Adams Morgan for August 1st or 15th and I'm having a hard time My grad school is right on the border of Burleith. Both the roommate I have lined up from my program and I are out of state (I live about 3.5hrs away, she lives even further north than that) so I've been looking on Craigslist for a month but have only seen August rentals recently, and now I feel like I'm completely behind and a lot of stuff has already rented. Nearly every place I e-mail or call the day or 1 day after the listing is posted either doesn't get back to me or has the place rented. We both visited some places around Georgetown and Burleith today and it was a total bust. Tried walking around for a few hours and calling places with rent signs we saw in the neighborhood, even met with a realtor who was of no help as she seemed to have a hard time finding places through the realtor system . I'm going to try calling some other property management places tomorrow and stay a few day early next week to set up appointments. Other than that I don't know what else I can do I'm just afraid we're not going to find a place in time and I'm starting to think about just going back to looking for a 1br in 2br shared house.
