Our platform combines the largest, most accurate and up-to-date inventory of local apartments available for a given city with a mobile-first, seamless search experience. This combination of unmatched local marketplace liquidity, and a delightful search experience, has helped ABODO grow from Madison, WI to 15 additional cities in the last 18 months, and from thousands of users to millions. With millions of renters now using ABODO across the web, iOS and Android, we're obsessed with continuing to make the process of finding your next apartment effortless, especially in cities outside of New York, San Francisco and LA.
