WestsideRentals.com Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary, Connecting Los Angeles Apartment Owners With Quality Tenants

Since 1996 WestsideRentals.com has successfully connected hundreds of thousands of quality tenants with landlords and roommates. WestsideRentals.com is the definitive location for owners and managers of Los Angeles rentals to locate quality tenants searching for apartments in Los Angeles, condos in Los Angeles, houses for rent in Los Angeles, and guest houses for rent in Los Angeles. Initially started in Santa Monica, due to overwhelming demand from landlords in need of quality tenants to fill their vacancies, WestsideRentals.com has grown to cover most of Southern California. As a service to the rental community we regularly publish rent surveys to assist in making the rental market more transparent and efficient for all of its participants.

WestsideRentals.com is ten years old. In 1996 in Santa Monica, California, a former L.A. County beach lifeguard opened a small office on Santa Monica Blvd. This past June WestsideRentals.com opened its new corporate headquarters located at 1020 Wilshire in Santa Monica. Six additional satellite offices located in Hermosa Beach, Pasadena, Venice, Studio City, Costa Mesa, and West Hollywood are also open 7 days a week to serve the landlord, renter and roommate communities. To celebrate its 10th anniversary WestsideRentals.com is publishing detailed rent surveys on specific Southern California areas; these surveys are available free of charge to all residential rental housing market participants.

The service initially focused on rentals and apartments in Santa Monica, but due to demand from landlords in need of quality tenants, WestsideRentals.com has expanded to cover most of Southern California. The service currently maintains the region's most comprehensive vacancy database; the most popular vacancy listings include rentals and apartments in Santa Monica, rentals and apartments in Hollywood, California, rentals and apartments in Pasadena, Beverly Hills apartments and rentals, Long Beach apartments and rentals, rentals and apartments in Manhattan Beach, rentals and apartments in Hermosa Beach, and rentals and apartments in Burbank, California. WestsideRentals.com maintains the most comprehensive and detailed coverage areas in the Southern California region and is the largest and apartment and home finding service for renters in Southern California. In addition, WestsideRentals.com owns and or manages approximately 1,000 apartment units in the region. More recently, WestsideRentals.com acquired ActionJobs.com and will soon be providing employers with free and efficient business tools to connect with serious job applicants.

The Company's mission from the outset was to provide landlords, renters and roommates with a quality service that enables serious rental housing market participants to connect with each other directly. Over the years WestsideRentals.com has maintained its devotion to building a sophisticated apartment and home rental finding service for renters and landlords throughout Southern California. The WestsideRentals.com call center processes more than 5,000 phone calls per day; its web site is ranked as the 10,000th most trafficked in the world (quite an accomplishment considering there are 40 million web sites worldwide and WestsideRentals.com is a regional player); its team of drivers scour city streets for vacancies and take thousands of property photographs annually; and 100 diligent employees work to explain how market participants can interact to make the region's most fragmented industry as efficient and transparent as possible for all serious market participants.
