Apartment searching can be a difficult process and searching for a new apartment out of town can be downright stressful. 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.

To live alone or to not live alone, that is the question. The idea of living alone sounds so peaceful. You don’t have to ask anyone if they would turn the TV down when you are reading in your room. You don’t have to check to see if the bathroom is free when you decide you want to shower. You also don’t have to double check if it’s okay to have friends over on a “school” night.

You can race from one part of town to another – and hopefully you won't get stuck in rush-hour traffic.

You can take notes and photos – and hopefully you won't forget to ask or record something along the way.

And you can “drill down” and start comparing and contrasting apartments in Chico – and hopefully the one you really want isn't gone by the time you make your final choice.

You found the perfect 2 bed apartment, but how do you find the perfect roommate? Well, ask all of your friends and post something on Facebook, right?

WAIT! What about all those people on Facebook that think they are your friends, but you have secretly unfollowed? What about your actual friends who are a lot of fun, but the thought of sharing a living space with them turns your stomach? You have to take into account someone’s personal habits and style of living, do they match yours?

Apartment searching. These two words would seem to bring excitement. Most of the time they are met with distain, angst and anxiety. Why is searching through Chico rental properties so difficult?

If you’re searching for Chico rental properties your first stop is probably the computer. Before you even go visit a property for a tour, you probably type it into Google to check it out as a sort of virtual spy. Or you type in a term like “Chico apartments” to see what comes up.

But what made you type that term or property into the search bar in the first place? A TV or radio commercial? A billboard you saw driving down East Ave? A recommendation from a friend? Something triggered your search. We’d like to think that it was all of the above that just kept screaming “HignellRentals.com” to you. Whatever way you found us, you’re here and we want to tell you what sets us and our properties apart.
