Introducing Keyword Search on Zumper
Perfection is subjective. The apartment of your dreams might be quite different from mine. I get that. And I’m not here to judge. What I am here to do is tell you that the aforementioned apartment of your dreams is now officially a search box away.
Find listings with standard amenities
Alright, so you’ve always been able to do this, but it just got even easier. You can now quickly type the amenity that you want into the search bar, rather than having to go through the list of all of them in order to find it.
If you happen to type in an amenity that our site doesn’t have a specific category for, don’t worry, you’re still in luck…
Find listings with all other amenities
…because sometimes you require a Mandy Moore mosaic in the bathroom or exposed copper pipes in the kitchen. Still not judging!
90’s pop stars aside, this is where the apartment hunting fun begins. Before, searching by amenity was limited to the amenities (like those mentioned above) that have their own categories on our site. They looked something like this:
Now, when you click to see advanced filters, you’ll have a search bar above the pre-existing options.
If you enter the keyword ‘parking,’ the results shown will include all listings with any type of parking mentioned in the description — valet, outdoor, garage, etc.
Moving in Manhattan? Try typing ‘pizza’ to ensure you’ll never have to be more than half a block away from a slice. If you love the San Francisco sun, browse listings near Dolores Park. You can even find rentals near schools in St. Louis!
Find all listings with specific amenities plus another key feature
This might be the best news of all. If your personal haven includes a nearby yoga studio, a dishwasher, and in-unit laundry, you can find it by checking those amenities on the existing list and then entering ‘yoga’ as a keyword.
1. 2. 3. Home.
Happy hunting!
