Apartment Listings on Swamp Rentals are designed to give prospective renters a good feel for the apartments that they are searching. We provide an overview of the apartment and community highlights. We give renters information on floor plans, including rent prices, apartment specials, and rent deals specific to those floor plans. Swamp Rentals will list apartment amenities and give you information about the neighborhood that a particular apartment is located within. We also provide the phone number to the apartment as well as the apartment’s email, website, and address. Of course, someone looking to rent can add the listing to favorites, share with their friends or roommates, or print information about the Gainesville apartment. You can even fan the apartment on facebook or follow them on Twitter. Lastly, select communities will display apartment lease specials and other apartment deals at the top of their listing. Just look for the green dollar sign with the word “special!”

Find an apartment in your rent price range

First, decide if you want to price your rent by the bedroom or by the entire apartment. This won’t filter out any particular apartments, but it will determine how you’ll be able to view actual monthly rent amounts. You’ll notice that the slider bar will change rent prices depending which variable you pick.

The next step is to begin to filter for apartment rent prices. Perhaps you have a monthly budget for your rent. If this is the case, slide the right circle to the left until you get to the desired apartment rent. Keep in mind that many apartment specials, rental deals, or other discounts are not factored into this rent amount.

Find an apartment in the right neighborhood

You don’t have to necessarily pick a Gainesville neighborhood at this point, but it’s a good time to start considering where you might want your apartment to be. Swamp Rentals put together guides of Gainesville’s 7 main neighborhoods. We put together a write-up and a video of each one, including Downtown Gainesville, West Gainesville, Sorority Row & South Gainesville, Northwest Gainesville, Mid-town, and Archer Rd. Before you sign a lease, it will probably be a good idea for you to consult our Gainesville Neighborhood Guide. You can reach it by clicking on the links in this how-to guide or scrolling up to the “Neighborhood Guide” tab at the top of the page. Swamp Rentals also imbeds this neighborhood information into all of our apartment listings.

Add some detail to your apartment search

Determining the “number of bedrooms” for your apartment is pretty self explanatory. Currently, we have 1 bedroom apartments, 2 bedroom apartments, 3 bedroom apartments, and 4 bedroom apartments in our database. We even have a few efficiency apartments in Gainesville listed (these apartments are marked as one bedroom apartments). If you are going to rent by the bedroom (students typically call them “all inclusive apartments” in Gainesville) and plan to take advantage of roommate matching, then you might want to leave the slider bar at the 4 bedroom apartment mark since this is where you can typically find the most apartment specials, deals, and discounts.

Miles to UF is simply the number of miles from the apartment to the edge of the University of Florida’s main campus in Gainesville. It doesn’t take you to the heart of UF or Shands, just to the nearest portion of campus to the apartment you’re searching for. This is important to UF students looking for an apartment as well as UF staff and faculty looking for an apartment.

Lease style allows you to choose between individual leasing (Remember, students in Gainesville typically call this an “all inclusive” apartment regardless of how inclusive all of the apartment expenses truly are), where the renter is only responsible for paying the rent for his or her own particular bedroom, and joint leasing, where all of the renters in the apartment are responsible for the rent.

Roommate matching typically means that the apartment in your search will pair you up with other roommates. Typically, the apartment will give you a survey that asks general questions about your lifestyle like if you’re a student, if you have a pet & whether it is a dog or cat, what time you generally go to sleep, and others. Even if an apartment does provide roommate matching, you can always rent one of their units with your own predetermined roommates.

Lease Terms are pretty self explanatory. Most Gainesville apartments typically rent their apartments on an annual basis. In years past, renters were forced to sublease an apartment if they needed it for less than a year. Currently, the Gainesville housing market is much more lenient, and many apartments provide 9 month leases, semester leases, and even short term leases.

Add even more detail to find the Gainesville apartment that best fits your needs.

Public transportation is important for renters who either do not have access to their own vehicle or would simply prefer to ride the bus for convenience or out of environmental concerns. If you’re a student at UF, chances are, you’ll need to ride the bus from your off campus apartment. The good news… Gainesville, Fl, has a great public transportation system known in Alachua County as the RTS or Regional Transit System. And the better news is that the vast majority of the apartments listed on Swamp Rentals are either on a bus stop or near a bus stop.

If you need a pet friendly apartment that fits all of your other needs as well, Swamp Rentals is perfect for your apartment search. We list cat friendly apartments as well as dog friendly apartments – we even list apartments that allow aquariums and birds. The “call for details” text next to “dog friendly” is there in case an apartment does not allow specific breeds like pit bulls or dogs over a certain weight.

If you have a car or scooter, it is important to think about parking during your apartment search. The apartments listed on Swamp Rentals are broken down into having “covered parking,” a “parking garage,” a “guaranteed parking space,” and “on street parking.” Some apartments will have multiple parking options. Just search for the option you need, and you’ll find the right apartment for you.

On the Swamp Rentals website, furnished apartments are broken into a “furnished common area,” a “furnished bedroom,” or “not furnished” at all. Some apartments will give the renter multiple options. If you happen to like an unfurnished apartment but you really need furniture, you can always lease furniture on your own. Conversely, if you have furniture but really want to rent a furnished apartment, talk to the leasing manager or apartment manager to see if he or she can make a special exception for you.

Find an apartment in Gainesville with the right community amenities.

The “community features” that Swamp Rentals lists are the amenities specific to the apartment itself. Currently, we list apartments with an elevator, playground, club house, picnic area, outdoor kitchen, game room, courtesy patrol, gated community, controlled access (like key card entry), computer lab (some include free printing), wireless access available, business center, city view, and nature view.

Swamp Rentals broke out athletic oriented apartment amenities into the category “sports & fitness.” Renters can search for 24-hr fitness center, fitness center, swimming pool, resort-style swimming pool, basketball court, covered basketball court, indoor basketball, racquetball court, tanning bed (free tanning), volleyball court, hot tub, tennis court, or sand volleyball.

If living green is important to you, you’re using the right apartment guide. Swamp Rentals was the first apartment finder in Gainesville to let renters search for green apartments. Find communities that provide paper recycling, glass recycling, or plastic recycling. Swamp Rentals also lists Gainesville, FL, apartments that use low energy lighting, and we even have a LEED certified apartment on the Web site.
