That is traditionally how it's been done here and in my opinion, the best way to do it. It's how I found my apartment after trying to find places on line and wait for agents to call me back, which some times took a couple of days. I think it's better than going on line. There are thousands upon thousands of buildings here. I doubt they all advertise online.

I would plan a trip here to look for places on foot if I were you--or at least include that as a part of your search.
I'm not looking for a new place, but on walks around my neighborhood I often see signs on buildings.
