Few people who like their apartments go and post about it online, especially if it's just okay and not THE BEST APARTMENT EVER FREE COOKIES EVERY DAY or something. Use the web for price & amenity comparison; use your eyes and word of mouth for actual evaluation. If you're not shy, it can be a good idea to ask current tenants how they feel about the place when you go and visit it. This is awkward if the landlord is with you though. Oh, and bear in mind that the online reviews may be a couple of years old and reflect different management situations. The only thing that they are good for is finding out if there are any SERIOUS problems. Serious, in that you'll see multiple reviews saying similar things over a period of time. For instance, one apartment I was interested in, there were at least 10 reviews mentioning a mold and bed-bug problem for everyone one that said the place was OK. Naturally, that shook me a bit. You just have to be careful. Most of it are people who have petty issues that they didn't deal with and decided to post a bad review.
