Apartment List

Apartment List is an online marketplace based in San Francisco, California, specializing in apartment rental listings. Founded in 2011 by John Kobs and Chris Erickson, the platform hosts over 5 million rental units, making it one of the largest rental marketplaces in the U.S. The company aims to enhance the apartment rental experience by connecting renters with landlords and property managers through a personalized, AI-driven search platform.
