Burlington Vt Rental Market

Finding apartments in Burlington VT can be challenging. Burlington historically has relatively low vacancy. Surprisingly, about 70% of the housing units in Burlington are rental units. That is due in part by the colleges in Burlington. The colleges in the Burlington Area do not house all of there students on campus and thus there is a large student demand for off-campus housing. Some of the area colleges are:
University of Vermont -Burlington VT
Champlain College -Burlington VT
St. Michaels College -Colchester VT

Apartment owners have a new option, compare it to Craigslist…

Craigslist is a great resource for landlords trying to rent their apartments. The best thing about Craigslist is that it has become the go to place for free advertising, and you can count on a lot of eyes seeing you listing. There is however a lot the could be improved upon. That is what prompted me to build the web site www.gridguide.com.

Craigslist	GridGuide.com
- Provides no way to sort by the date apartments are available. So people have to view tons of listing to find what they are looking for.	- In the Grid homepage all listings are automatically organized by the number of bedrooms and the date available! Check it out!
- Listings are quickly obsolete as each new listing is added, your listing gets buried.	- All listing are highlighted until the available date passes!
- I don’t like having to re-list once it expires, and upload pictures again.	- List it once, upload pictures (and VIDEO!!) we keep everything in your account permanently! Simply “deactivate” the listing and it is turned off but available for you to activate it later on if necessary.
- Craigslist is a jack of all trades	- GridGuide.com is a master of apartment rentals
- No quick means of posting multi-unit buildings	- Duplicate feature allow quick upload of apartment buildings. Upload the first apartments, duplicate that unit then make any necessary changes to create the second unit
