Holy moses. Who knew it would be such a hassle trying to find an apartment!! I have been looking on craigslist. There's an enormous amount of spam in the apartments section. I saw two awesome apartments that are listed on there that are in Gloucester and the people listed their phone numbers but don't even return the calls. They keep putting the same ads up for these two different apartments. What gives? It really ticks me off. If anyone knows of a 2 bedroom apartment in Gloucester or Beverly let me know!

It can be really hard to find what you want. There's location, price, size, amenities, and often a pet policy to consider and I'm sure I haven't mentioned everything.

Instead of just limiting yourself to CL, what about doing a search on Zillow for rentals. Trulia also. It can be tricky because I assume you are looking for a year round home, not a seasonal place and in Gloucester many of the rentals are either for the off-season or for the summer. Good luck.

Boston Globe rental section is usually most up to date. Good luck.

For the outer regions, CL is not your best bet. Try the old fashioned way - local, local, local. Local businesses and local people will be a good place to look.

My friend with the two-family in Gloucester uses CL only for her rental. She is out of town until the end of the month and is doing some sprucing up on the rental, so it's probably not listed. It's a one-bedroom in-town. Please DM me if you might be interested. It likely isn't available until April or so- will know when she returns to town on March 27. She's a good and fair landlady and it's a good apartment.

Aww bummer. I am looking for a two bedroom right now. I should have put that in my original comments. Thank you though!
