After two years of change and migration people are beginning to flock back into cities and sign into long-term leases. What is great news for many small businesses and communities also comes with skyrocketing prices and increased competition for rental properties. 

While Zumper’s special tools can help you get an edge in the rental market— like our in-app messaging enabling you to text property owners directly, and the ability to store information and rental conversations, share application materials and rental documents in-app— we know limited inventory means some sacrifice for preferences. Or does it?

The starry eyed dreams renters have for their new space may seem like it’s becoming a compromise in today’s ultra-competitive market. But it doesn’t have to be a disappointing experience. Zumper teamed up with design guru Cortney Novogratz—arbiter of high/low design and furniture, hHGTV and BRAVO show host, (and also a mom of 7!), to bring you special insider design tricks and as well as a special edition Zumper x Novogratz “Apartment in a Box” offering!

Cortney is the queen of fresh starts in challenging markets and spaces. Her clan underwent relocation and redesign several times over the last year. Not only did Cortney and her husband move, they also helped their four oldest children find and furnish rentals in markets like NYC!

Check out how Cortney turned her daughter Tallulah’s dull studio apartment…

into this bright and happy two-bedroom retreat! 

And you can achieve the same results with access to all the decor and furnishing used to make that project with the limited edition Zumper x Novogratz Apartment in a Box. Here are some examples:

All of the furnishings are available for inspiration or for sale individually or as the Apartment in a Box special collection package https://www.shopthenovogratz.com/pages/zumper, for a limited time starting December 1.
