Frequently asked questions
How does Avenue match me with NYC apartments?
Avenue uses the preferences you share at signup — neighborhood, budget, bedrooms, and move-in timing — to curate NYC apartment listings and text the matches straight to your phone the moment they hit the market. It also learns more about what you like over time, so your matches get sharper the more you use it.
Is Avenue free to use?
Yes. Signing up for Avenue is completely free. Enter your phone number, share what you're looking for, and start receiving matched NYC apartment listings by text.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Avenue works entirely over text — there's no app to download and no dashboard to manage. Matched listings arrive in the same Messages thread you already use every day.
Which areas does Avenue cover?
Avenue currently covers Manhattan, so every listing it sends is relevant to the neighborhood you're searching.
How quickly will I get listings?
NYC's rental vacancy rate sits around 1.4%, so good apartments can disappear within hours. Avenue texts you the moment a matching listing goes live — far faster than waiting on email alerts — so you can reply and act first.
