How do I tour an apartment online?
Looking for an apartment but unable to tour the perfect place in-person? Don't worry– here's some tips on how to find and tour your future home on Apartments.com without having to leave the comfort of your current place!
Search for listings that offer video and 3D tours:
On Apartments.com, you'll be able to narrow down what you're looking for by price, bedrooms/bathrooms, and more. Once you've entered your criteria, don't forget to select Sort and select from the drop-down box your preference on how you'd like to view the matching listings.
- By selecting Video, you'll be able to quickly see which listings have a video tour of the unit and property.
- Be selecting, 3D Tour, you'll enter an interactive touring experience as if you were walking through the place and seeing it with your own eyes.
Note: Another way to look for listings that offer virtual tours is by checking to see if it has a Play button or a 3D Tours button.
- If you select the Play button, a video will pop up showing the property, amenities, and models offered.
- If you select the 3D Tours button, you'll be able to view 3D images of the models from a dollhouse view as well as explore the place inch by inch.
Ask for a virtual tour:
If a listing doesn't include a video or 3D tour, contact the property and ask if they can give you a tour via Facetime or if they can email you a video tour.
You can contact the property by:
- Calling them at the number displayed on the listing or
- Entering your details and sending an email through our website
