Apartment List

Apartment List is a virtual-first online rental marketplace that helps renters find apartments across all 50 U.S. states. Founded in September 2011 by John Kobs and Chris Erickson, the platform uses an AI-driven "Perfect Match" recommendation engine to pair renters with listings based on budget, location, amenities, and lifestyle preferences, and offers a Partner Portal for property managers and landlords to list and manage units. The company runs a consumer-facing search experience alongside a B2B property-management side. Apartment List does not currently publish a public developer API; this profile captures its public web, brand, and security surface.

Apartment List is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Rentals, Real Estate, Housing, and Apartments.

Apartment List’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 5 more developer resources.
