How do you find a good apartment in DC?

Question

I am moving to DC from the West coast in the next couple of months and their Craigslist seems to be mostly spam and overpriced properties. How do I find a good apartment inside of DC?

Answer 1

DC, like most big cities has an apartment guidebook that gets published.  I think the official website is www.apartmentguide.com

Overpriced by what standard?  Most of DC is very expensive to live in.  I lived there for 5 years.  If your on a budget you want to go outside of the beltway.  Best to live on the Virginia side.
