About This Quiz

OK, we know you’ve seen "House Hunters" because, let's be real, who hasn’t? From bougie mansions to adorable bungalows, we’re not-so-secretly obsessed with watching other people find their dream homes. 

And, it can also be fun to hate on people who walk through a house making the most unnecessary comments. You know what we're talking about! Sorry, but your $13 per month isn’t going to get you the 10-bedroom palace you’ve always dreamed of! Even when we can’t stand the buyers and renters, watching "House Hunters" is so SO less stressful than actually house hunting (or apartment hunting) ourselves.

Maybe you already know the pressure. If you don’t, don’t worry, you will! Apartment hunting is one of the quintessential adulting experiences. It's kind of like getting your oil changed for the first time or wondering how the heck you’re going to make this month’s credit card payment.

Seriously, though, apartment hunting is no joke. Countertops and outdoor spaces are just the tip of the iceberg. Whether you’ve been renting for years or are thinking about starting your search soon, take our quiz to reveal if you know how to find the perfect apartment. No lie, it’s not as easy as HGTV makes it look!
