As a realtor/property manager, I feel I must comment regarding your suggestion to ask how many children reside in the community. Federal fair housing regulations prohibit any leasing professional from disclosing how many children live in the community as well as where families with children are located. Such a practice can be considered "steering" in other words--directing residents with or without children where to live based on the familial status of other residents. This is a highly illegal practice aside from being unethical and unprofessional. The existence of children is just a fact of life and anyone who cannot handle the possibility of living near them shouldn't be considering apartment living.
