Over the last year, our team has packed these pages with new features \u2014 including maps, more detailed housing searches, waiting list forecasts, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been eight years since our last redesign, and our team has put in a lot of work to improve our website to give renters plenty of new tools and resources while searching for their next home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/homeCrop4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/homeCrop4.png 1200w, https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/homeCrop4-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/homeCrop4-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You will notice many improvements and additions to the site, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Better navigation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More detailed housing searches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Informative apartment listings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More affordable housing properties than ever before<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A map of properties for every city and county<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waiting list forecasts for most properties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New guides and FAQs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Housing wage rates for every city and county in the U.S.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A new page to get to know our dedicated staff<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And much, much more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our new city and county pages feature an interactive map showing every affordable housing property in the area. They have lots of information about the amount of affordable housing in that area, and the renters who live there. And we\u2019ve also included cost comparisons to other cities in the same state, and similar cities around the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/mapCROPPED.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Affordable Housing Online's new city and county pages, which now feature map navigation!\" class=\"wp-image-7583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/mapCROPPED.png 1200w, https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/mapCROPPED-300x124.png 300w, https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/mapCROPPED-768x317.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve also added \u201cDave\u2019s Thoughts&#8221; as a new feature to every apartment page.
