We are also a renters and to be fair i have to tell you that i just followed cinnamon’s link to affordable housing and it probably isn’t realistic.
depending upon the size of the house and the amenities (does it have a view, is it near a park, schools, are you going to allow pets, etc>>>) rents here are higher than those posted.
you might try housingmaps.. just put them in google. that is where i found our current rental.
I think a lot of people who are transferring into the area use that system. It works really well… as does a good old fashioned sign.
You might want to consider a real estate service if you aren’t going to want to manage the property yourself… they do charge a percentage of the rent as a fee, but they do most of the work screening renters and some of them even arrange repairs for you. Just check out the contracts really carefully.
Too bad i won’t be looking for another place for at least 6 months… good luck!
