I'm moving out of my current place (school housing) in May, so me and my new roommate were looking for places. We've been looking since early February and just found a place yesterday.
You would not believe how incredibly difficult it is to find places in Philly that are reasonably close to Center City, have reasonable rent, and aren't in shitty areas. The apartment we got is a 2 bed, 1 bath, has all new appliances and granite counter tops, a remodeled bathroom, and a gas fireplace in the living room. Total rent is $1400/month, so $700 a person. We were looking to spend a little less than that, but all utilities (with the exception of TV/internet) are included so it's not bad, especially considering the location.
We gave the landlord our security deposit and applications today, and now we're just waiting on the credit check to come back. If all goes well (and it should, me and my roommate have near-perfect credit scores and our parents are co-signing) we'll be able to move in by May 15th.
This is my first ever place that's not school-sponsored or home, so I'm very, very excited. 🙂
