Rental Finder is more than a simple apartment-listing app – it’s a full-fledged guide for finding and settling into a new home in the Indiana-Kentucky-Illinois tri-state area. You can use Rental Finder to shop for apartments, learn the ins and outs of renting, get acquainted with local neighborhoods, find answers to common questions, and more.  

Below, we explain the various ways Rental Finder can help you find and settle into a new home in Illinois, Indiana, or Kentucky, courtesy of the Rental Finder team.

Finding a place to live in the IN-KY-IL tri-state area 

The Indiana-Kentucky-Illinois tri-state area comprises 30 beautiful counties and a handful of major cities that house over a million people. Rental Finder lists homes in popular neighborhoods in major cities like Evansville, Henderson, Newburgh, and Carbondale. You can use the app to filter properties by location and neighborhood. You can learn more about the neighborhood or city in question while you’re at it. 

Finding exactly the home you need

Apartments come in many shapes and sizes – single apartments, duplexes, and lofts. You can find apartments with exactly the features, amenities, and style you’re looking for. Besides apartments, Rental Finder also lists houses, townhomes, and other common property types. Some top features and amenities you can filter by include: 

• Kid-friendly or pet-friendly 
• Swimming pool or playground access
• Amenities like garages, dishwashers, and fireplaces 
• Safety features like alarms or gated access

Curated landlords or rental companies 

Rental Finder has been working with local landlords and rental companies for years. We are invested in making the community a warm, welcoming, and homely place for everyone – so we make it a point to feature listings only from reputable local companies or landlords. 

Everything can be remote if you like 

You may not have the time or opportunity to head to Illinois, Indiana, or Kentucky personally to look for a new rental – and that’s completely okay! Rental Finder was made with remote users in mind. We offer virtual tours, maps, photos, and all the other resources you need to find a rental no matter where you are. You’ll also find phone numbers and email addresses if you want the latest vacancy information. 

Jobs nearby 

Moving to Illinois, Indiana, or Kentucky likely requires a brand-new job. Rental Finder provides helpful job-related information that can help you secure employment. You can learn more about local industries (food is big in Henderson, for example), long-term career prospects, commuting options, convenient rentals near your office, and similar. 

Dining options nearby 

Rental Finder lists the most noteworthy dining options in your neighborhood or city of choice – and gives you other food-related advice too. You can learn more about the places that the locals think are best for breakfast, for example, or where to take your date for dinner in Newburgh or Evansville.

Schools and colleges nearby 

Your kids may need a new school or college. Rental Finder lists some popular local options – both public and private – and also offers helpful advice on navigating your education options locally. If you’re an adult with a job and don’t have time to go to school full-time, you may prefer to take online classes or pursue “hybrid” education to further your studies. There are many options. For example, you can earn your EdD degree with a virtual program from a reputable institute.  

Settling into your new home

Moving can be stressful, and moving to an unknown neighborhood and city is frequently anxiety-inducing. Rental Finder attempts to ease your fears by telling you what you can expect and offering helpful moving advice (from finding jobs to new roommates), and other tips to make your apartment feel like home. 

When you first move, you may find unpacking and keeping the space tidy and organized a challenge. To make your life easier, have your kids help out. If they’re reluctant, you can gamify it to pique their interest. With the right strategy, you can have them put their toys and other stuff away in under half an hour.  

Conclusion 

Rental Finder is your one-stop shop for top-tier rentals in the IN-KY-IL area. You can find exactly the home you and your family want, with all the amenities you need. You can also find helpful information on other things, from how renting apartments works to how to settle down faster.
