The newspaper and Craigslist can only give you so much information which can lead to uninformed decisions, regrets, and moving to iffy apartments. Thankfully, here at Hignell Rentals, we make apartment searching easier. Keep on reading if you're in a long distance apartment hunt and moving to Chico, California. ## Learn About All Chico Has to Offer Chico has a special sense of community. There are great restaurants, gallery shows, farmer's markets, downtown events, and so much more. If you're looking for a place to live that has an eclectic and quaint [downtown](https://www.downtownchico.com), then Chico is your place. It seems as if our downtown is always putting together an event of some kind [except during this COVID-19 season] to get the community together for either a good cause or to prompt local businesses.

Follow the steps below to check if the apartment complex you're looking at has a video or not.* **Step #1: **Narrow down the search criteria by clicking on "Rental Search" in the main navigation and selecting "Apartment" and "Chico," then hit "GO!" ![Step 1: Search Criteria ](https://blog.hignellrentals.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screen%20Shot%202020-05-26%20at%2010_18_21%20AM.png?width=494&name=Screen%20Shot%202020-05-26%20at%2010_18_21%20AM.png) **Step #2: **Scroll down and when you find an apartment that you're interested in, click the DETAILS button.  ![Step 2: Apartment Details](https://blog.hignellrentals.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screen%20Shot%202020-05-26%20at%2010_10_20%20AM.png?width=494&name=Screen%20Shot%202020-05-26%20at%2010_10_20%20AM.png) **Step #3: **Scroll down the page, and if there is an apartment video for the complex you chose then it will be underneath the apartment complex's photos.  ![Step 3: Apartment Videos](https://blog.hignellrentals.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screen%20Shot%202020-05-26%20at%2010_11_04%20AM.png?width=494&name=Screen%20Shot%202020-05-26%20at%2010_11_04%20AM.png) ## Transparency with Price It's common to have to wait and call an apartment complex to find out the prices of different units. We give you the monthly rent prices on our website, along with the deposit amount for each of our complexes and each of our units so you can see right then and there if it will fit in your budget. ## Apartment Vacancy Lists Once you know which complex you'd like to apply at,  Once you've had time to look through the different complexes, and before you begin the application process, make sure there are vacancies within that complex. You can find out if there are any vacancies by scrolling towards the bottom of the page, past *Floor Plans*, until you see the header *Vacancies*. ![Checking for Vacancies](https://blog.hignellrentals.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screen%20Shot%202020-05-26%20at%2010_47_56%20AM.png?width=494&name=Screen%20Shot%202020-05-26%20at%2010_47_56%20AM.png) If you want to double check that the type of apartment you want is available for rent then you can call the apartment complex office during office hours (located in the *Contact Us* section below *Vacancies*) and talk to their staff about unit vacancies. ## Online Application - Ideal for Long Distance Search When you find the perfect complex for you, you can apply online.
