This is a great way to find an apartment as long as you factor in at least a couple weeks to find a good roommate.u00a0 Although you're going to get a lot of interest, dealing with logistics and compatible personalities is easier said than done.u00a0 Another potential obstacle is that you'll be the only one on the lease-- meaning you have to sublease everyone and be on the hook if anything goes wrong.u00a0 That said, it's by far the best way to make sure you get an apartment you like.A great alternative to the Craigslist-roommate-search is to attend an A-List Happy Hour, hosted by Apartment List.u00a0 It's a weekly open bar in SF with 30+ roommate/apartment seekers all hanging out, having fun, and meeting new people.u00a0 Check out The Best Way to Find Roommates for more info on the events and the mobile app!
