Looking for a house to rent in Ann Arbor or Ypsi

[netmouse]

Please let me know if you have any leads or advice on where to find listings apart from craigslist and mlive.

Right now we can afford up to 1400 a month but I'm looking for part-time work to extend that range a little.

What we are hoping for, in a nutshell: 2 or 3 bedrooms (one w Eastern or Southern exposure), at least 1.5 bathrooms, plus play space for Rosie, computer/den space, space for bookshelves, a good sized kitchen for cooking, dining rm space, (can be combined in great rm) a front hall closet, a back yard w deck or patio, preferably fenced in (to keep Rosie in, not for privacy). Would like a pantry and a linen closet, can make do w basement storage. Need parking for two cars and 3 bikes.

Preferably within a 15 min drive of the U of M medical complex, where Brian will work, in a family neighborhood w established trees, with a park and play structure within walking or short driving distance.

I would look at www.zillow.com as well. They have a "For Rent" section, and a lot of things available that don't show up on craigslist/mlive. Sometimes the listings stay up after the house is rented out, but then you get in contact with a realtor that has other for rent listings, which can't be bad.

Seconding the Zillow recommendation -- we're in a process of slowly looking, and Andy's been using it a lot.

Cool, thanks. I hadn't heard of that.

I realised I should actually *ask* Andy, he also suggests PadMapper which uses Craigslist data (and others) to plot places on a map, can make it easier to find places in a particular location.

I wish you luck! I may be in Ann Arbor in late July for a conference and I'd love to see you all.

Thanks! Padmapper looks really useful.

It would be great to see you! Hope that works out.

Moving back? I hope I'll have a chance to drive over and visit!--it's certainly more likely that it's been for a while. Whoo hee!

Yup, we expect to be there at least through August 2014. It would be great to see you.
