Paul Rademacher's HousingMaps.com is an addicting combination of Craigslist and Google Maps. After you choose from over 35 cities (including London and Toronto), you can sort first by whether you're looking for a rental or a sale, and then further by price, pet-friendliness, and keyword. Next you can quickly preview the ad, viewing any photos in a pop-up box.

I guess I am late for the party :(. I just finished working on my craigslist-on-maps site.
http://www.rentrent.org

Rentrent.org offers better search interface on top of craigslist listings. I got motivated to build this site because I saw some limitations in Craigslist interface. I just hope that the site helps people search for the apartment they are looking for.

Why is it better than others?
.Allows user to filter by numer of bathrooms.
.Allows user to search by exact number of bedrooms.
.Allows user to search by very granular amount she is willing to pay.
.Color coded properties.
.All the information you need about a property is on a balloon.
.The map interface gives user the visual idea about where exactly each rental property is. Joe Irvine on Jul 7, 2008

If you're looking in one of the cities they cover, http://www.cribq.com is pretty sweet.

Has all the Craigslist listings like housingmaps (except it seems to be much more up to date), but also favorites, notes, and some pretty cool tools like a "birdseye" view.

So far I think it's just Seattle, Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco. railroadtom on Dec 16, 2007
