While many of us adjust to living more of our daily lives online, relying on virtual tours while apartment hunting is becoming more common.

Here are some of the benefits to choosing your new apartment with a virtual tour.

They're user friendly

Virtual tours are extremely user friendly and can be done on any device: a laptop, a desktop, a tablet or even a smartphone. You can tour an apartment on your own time without having to book an appointment with the building management. Virtually touring an apartment means that you have the independence to look when you want and for as long as you want, while still getting a thorough inspection of every corner of the apartment.

You can tour apartments anywhere in the city

With virtual tours you can look for new rentals all over the city all in one day, with no traffic to sit in, no parking to look for and no planning according to neighbourhood. Whether you're considering finding your new home near Bathurst & Lawrence, or think that apartments in East York might be more your scene, virtual tours let you explore both in a single day, right from your couch. 

You can envision yourself in the space

Virtual tours give you a 360° view of the apartment, so you can spin the screen to have a good look around and get a feel for the size of the space. It's as if you're actually standing in the apartment. Virtual tours often include floor plans, so you can see the layout and the measurements of the space.

Virtual tours allow for the freedom to search for a new home whenever and however you want, helping you find your dream apartment at the click of a button.
