You can usually find a small and older apartment complex with nice people in the heart of a favorite city. Near the beach, university, downtown or just right next to work.

This is a solution for students, couples, singles and also retirees. Living somewhere within walking distance to something you love can be worth the rent. Sometimes it's not as expensive as you might think.

Check craigslist and seek low square footage and one bedroom units. Also try search terms like university, beach, downtown or whatever it is you want to be close to.

Another recommended way is to explore the neighborhood itself and look for signs. Many of these locations have so much traffic that landlords just place signs out and they get most of their tenants in this way.

A realtor, friend or family member might be able to help in the case that you can’t do the finding.
