The best place to look for places to rent is to go to the yellow pages of your telephone book, look under property managers.
You might also Google Property managers in whatever city or community you want to live in and see what comes up
These individuals list properties for rent in certain areas, so make sure you select the areas in which you wish to rent.
Call several of the property managers listed there, tell them you want a list of properties that they have for rent. Some will fax, email or mail the list of local places to rent along with the address, number of bedrooms and bath rooms, amenities available, such as washer and dryers or gyms, the monthly rental of the unit. Most will include a rental application. These list will include the monthly rental required, if a lease or month to month agreement will be signed. They will also indicate if they will accept Section 8 vouchers. They will also indicate it they have disabled access, allow pets and if so the type allowed.
They might indicate a web site that you might visit to get their list of places to rent. In most instances you would be able to see a visual picture of the rental that are offered for rent.
It does not cost to get a rental list from a reputable property manager. Some will require you to stop by their office and pick up the list. A lot of them post their list outside of their office, so the list are available 24/7 365.
Make sure you don't fall for the scams and purchase a list as 70%-80% of these list are composed of free list they have compiled. They are not the property managers of any property in most instances.
Again do not pay for this information as it is free from reputable property managers.
You might consider obtaining a crime report from the city in which you would want to reside.
I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.
"FIGHT ON"
You may have a Pennysaver magazine in your area and that is one place to look. You can also observe that apartments are often grouped in certain areas or streets in most towns and you could just go there and drive around or take your bike over there and case out the neighborhood, looking for For Rent signs.
Stay off Craigslist.
Try Sunday newspaper classified. Google "rentals xxxx" (enter city or area).
All apartments and condos are "serious".

I have been 18 for about half a year now. I am getting a serious full time job and saving up money with a friend to invest in a new place together and eventually one with my girlfriend. I live in southern california and would like to keep it that way. My budget would be somewhere between 700 and 1100 monthly rent, shared between me and roommate of course. So, where do i look? I have tried looking on craigslist in my area but there's always the fear of scams and the like and most don't fit my budget or if they do, they aren't really in my area. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to look for a serious apartment or condo to rent? Thanks in advance!
