What does "Cheap" mean for Apartment rentals in Irvine, CA?

Cheap is a relative term to communicate more "affordable" rental and living expenses.

How to search for Cheap Apartments in Irvine, CA?

When searching on HotPads for more affordable apartments, use the "Sort:" feature to sort apartments by Lowest Price for Irvine. Additionally, set a max price for your search and select "Alert me" to be notified in real-time when "cheaper" apartments come on the market.

What are some additional tips for securing a "cheaper" apartment?

Although a larger multi-tenant building is less likely to negotiate rental terms there are a few things that don't hurt to try, including:

Offer to sign a longer lease for lowered monthly rent

Ask about becoming an onsite property manager
Educate yourself regarding the apartment rental market and market rates in Irvine. Knowing this will help you accurately negotiate fair rent.
