About CoStar Group: ForRentUniversity.com Scraper [$0.75 / 1K]

Need to pull student housing data from ForRentUniversity.com without the manual hassle? This scraper does the heavy lifting for you. I've used it to gather everything you see on a listing page: floor plans with current pricing, amenity lists, and genuine resident reviews. It also pulls the practical details that matter for students, like walkability scores, nearby schools and transit options, and even links to virtual tours. You get all the property photos, plus direct contact info for the management companies and precise location data. It's built to run on Apify, so you can schedule it, get clean structured data (JSON, CSV), and integrate it directly into your own systems or databases. Perfect for researchers analyzing the student housing market, property managers running competitive analysis, or lead generation teams building contact lists. It saves you dozens of hours of copying and pasting, letting you focus on using the data instead of collecting it. Just set your target city or university, run the actor, and get a comprehensive dataset delivered.
