Bungalow Makes Finding a Home Easier for San Diego Renters
SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) May 24, 2018 -- Bungalow, a complete housing solution for renters, today announces its first homes in San Diego, California - with two beautifully furnished homes already on the market in great locations. Bungalow provides a simple application process, affordable access to top neighborhoods, hand-selected housemates, and friendly community events to make members feel at home faster.
Rising costs have created a challenging rental market for people flocking to the country’s best cities in search of new job opportunities and life experiences. Bungalow connects renters with shared homes in great locations, all for roughly 30 to 60 percent less than renting a studio in the same neighborhood. The company’s first San Diego home, competitively priced and located in the Bankers Hill neighborhood, filled three out of four rooms within only 3 days of being listed. A second home in Loma Portal was recently added - and new tenants will get access to events like kayaking in La Jolla and beach barbeques, in addition to WiFi, monthly cleaning, and included utilities.
“A home is a lot more than just where you sleep; scanning Craigslist’s low-quality photos and debatable roommates is unnerving at best, but can veer into scary or dangerous,” explains Andrew Collins, Bungalow co-founder and CEO. “Finding a great spot with friendly housemates makes all the difference when moving somewhere new. We built Bungalow for people in search of a smooth transition when they’re bold enough to move to a new city. All of our homes are smartly designed to create beautiful common spaces that make the shared living experience even better.”
Relocating can be expensive and stressful. Young professionals are opting for shared homes to make the move more affordable and less lonely. Since 2017, Bungalow has made the online search and application process safer and more renter-friendly: users can scroll through photos of furnished homes, read profiles of current members, review prices, and book viewings all through the website. Finally, Bungalow connects new residents to their local community and housemates with regular outings and events so they can feel at home from Day 1.
“The housing market is broken, plain and simple,” explains Collins. “We are working to fix it: helping folks capture the best experiences in their new cities, so they more quickly feel at home.”
Bungalow plans to list more homes in San Diego in upcoming months and expand to additional cities before 2019. San Diego is the company’s seventh city, with hundreds of people already in homes in D.C., New York, Seattle and more. For more information, visit livebungalow.com.
