WHY WE STARTED VERYAPT
VeryApt was born from the simple realization that the small things about an apartment are
often the most important: a friendly doorman, lots of sunlight in the living room, a running trail
nearby, or that amazing hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant across the street. We understand that
the frustrations of apartment hunting are universal, but share a belief that it doesn't have to be.
We know what makes an apartment truly feel like home is unique for each person and that's
why our focus is on bringing you personalized recommendations based on timely, relevant, and
real user reviews. We'll be there every step of the way to help you find your perfect apartment.

East Hill is a great option for those wanting to
