What websites, publications or real estate professionals would you recommend to people looking for rentals in Roseland, Chicago?

I don't mind Trulia, but Zillow is my go to when first looking at getting an apartment. Then I'd check Craigslist for any possible deals. I've found more than one place that would otherwise be ignored by websites like Zillow on Craigslist, or the deals are so good they're gone in a flash. You have to be diligent and keep checking everyday, but you can find a great place at a great price quite often!

here are a lot of great resources out there for finding an apartment in Roseland, Chicago.

Craigslist.org has a great section for rentals and most of these are rentals by owner.

Trulia.com is also a great resource - you can select your neighborhood, what amenities you want and even put in your minimum and maximum you are willing to pay per month.

Another source I would recommend is ApartmentHomeLiving.com. It allows you to choose your state, city and then neighborhood. It has a lot of the same features as Trulia with the ability to choose amenities and prices.

Here are a few more you can try: ForRent.com, Rent.com, WalkScore.com, MyNewPlace.com, and Zillow.com.

I particularly like WalkScore.com because it gives you great information on how 'walkable' the area is, what your commute time will be and if you are near transit.

You can also use the local papers and most of them have an online presence now where you can look for apartments that way too. I have never personally used a real estate professional for finding a rental so I can't make a recommendation there.
