There are certain considerations you have to make when you live in a big city, and public transit may be one of them. If you rely on public transportation to get around, you may want to live close to a station, and this new tool from Trulia lets you search accordingly.


The tool is currently available for renters in Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. Trulia announced the “Near Transit” feature that allows renters to search for rentals that are within a 15 minute walk of rapid transit.

In a press release, they said:

Rent Near Transit is a search filter that helps consumers find available rentals near rapid transit stations, making it easier for them to get from home to transit, so they can quickly access their points of interest...renters can compare median rental prices by transit station, giving them a better feel for the market at a more local level. Prices are updated regularly to reflect changes in the market as they occur. As a result, Rent Near Transit eliminates the need for renters to toggle between Trulia Rentals and their favorite maps platform to find their next home.


To use it, you navigate to your city of choice, then click on your desired station, and Trulia will map out nearby rentals. Give it a try at the link below.
