Here's a tip I would share with any apartment hunter: the drive-through. Sure you're going to tour the place with landlords, but they are only going to show you what they want you to see. This tour will also take place during office hours, when many people are away. To get a better feel, you should drive through any complex at various times of the day. That way, you get a more true sense of the lay of the land. Are there questionable types hanging out all night? Are screaming children running around unsupervised? Some of these things can be seen ahead of time if you take the time to do your research. Driving through the apartment at different times of day is invaluable.
