Noticeboards
Community and university noticeboards are good places to look – especially if you are looking for Share Accommodation.
Real Estate Agents
If you know the area you would like to live in, check the Yellow Pages for real estate agents in that area. Contact the agents by phone and introduce yourself. If you represent yourself well (be polite and be clear about what you want) a real estate agent may choose to help you out and let you know if something suitable comes up.
