The different apartment websites don't seem to list all apartments in an area. I'm not sure what the requirement are to be listed, but the information is limited. Doing a search on Crosby doesn't find any, but there is one behind the library. Doing another for Fort Smith, AR, finds 1 or 2, yet there are many complexes there. So, I'm not real impressed with the apartment websites. Would be better to just look thru yellow pages.
Looking thru the home location sites: HAR is of course for Houston, though it does have access to surrounding counties, the Urban Living seems to be rather exclusive and also Houston, the Google Maps has a number of listings. I liked Google the best. It has listings across the US, with pictures and you can choose satellite image to see the surrounding area. I kept looking for rural sites and I could tell if there were trees, etc. Also, when you are logged in, it will keep sites for you.
The Walk Score was fun. You could see what is in an area and get an idea of how far things are. But again, it doesn't list everything. I was looking on a site for Granbury, TX that lists a lot of shopping stores, but when I input the address on Walk Score, it doesn't find and of the shopping listed. So it may give you an idea of things, it still has its limits.
So as with anything, it pays to look in more than one place for information.
