Hey everyone, I’m moving to Tallahassee soon for a new job and wanted to ask for advice on the best way to find rentals from private landlords instead of large apartment complexes.

So far I’ve looked on Zillow, Facebook Marketplace, Apartments.com, and Craigslist, but I’m not sure what people in Tallahassee actually use the most for finding good places. I’m mainly looking for a house or townhome in a safe area that is a little quieter and not completely centered around student life.

I’d appreciate any tips on:

• Best places to search for rentals from private owners
• Neighborhoods that are good for young professionals
• Areas I should avoid
• Good local property management companies if private rentals are hard to find

Would really appreciate any advice from people who live there or have gone through the rental search recently. Thanks!
