Find your dream apartment in LA

Personalized apartment scouting, in-person tours, and cinematic walkthrough videos of beautiful, unique, character-filled LA apartments.

I help you find your perfect home without blind leasing, spending hours in traffic or flying out.

How it works

  1. You share your timelines, budget, neighborhoods, and aesthetic preferences.

  2. I create a highly personalized, curated apartment shortlist. We decide on your top choices, and I schedule in-person tours.

  3. I film walkthroughs and send a comprehensive assessment report with apartment details and neighborhood context.

  4. You choose your dream home and apply.

Anna Katherine Scanlon

LA Apartment Scout

I’m Anna, an LA-based filmmaker with a love for vintage architecture and character apartments. I started scouting apartments for friends moving to Los Angeles and realized how hard it is to judge a place remotely. Now I help renters find beautiful, unique homes without endless scrolling or blind leasing.

I live in a 1923 storybook apartment in Echo Park, and specialize in finding apartments with light, vintage charm, and beautiful architectural detail. I look forward to helping you find an apartment that makes you as happy as mine does.

Are you a broker or real estate agent?

No. I’m an independent apartment scout with a boutique consulting service. I keep my client list small so each renter gets highly personalized support. I curate highly personalized shortlists of ideal apartments based on your needs, then physically tour units and film walkthroughs.

Testimonials

"Anna toured six apartments for us. Her videos and notes were a huge help while I was dealing with the stress of finishing my PhD and getting ready for my job at NASA. We signed a lease for an amazing crafstman before we arrived, and we love it."

- Ceci & Matt, 33 & 32 (+ dog Maxy, 11) Miami to Echo Park

"Anna helped me find a gorgeous, charming one-bedroom while I was in Texas taking care of my mom. I'm a writer, so I really wanted something romantic and cozy, and walkable to cafes and restaurants. The 1920s apartment Anna found is perfect."

- Rebecca, 27, Austin to Los Feliz
