When potential tenants browse Apartments.com, they’re not just looking for photos—they want a complete picture of the space 📏. That’s why adding a floor plan to your listing is one of the most powerful upgrades you can make. A clear floor plan gives renters the spatial perspective they need to imagine themselves living there, boosting engagement and increasing qualified inquiries.
In this guide, you’ll learn step-by-step how to upload and display floor plans on Apartments.com, plus pro tips to make sure your floor plan isn’t just there—but is working hard to convert viewers into leads.
Before we dive into the “how,” let’s talk about the “why”:
Pro Tip: If you’re already optimizing your listings on Realtor.com or Trulia, make sure your floor plan strategy is consistent across all platforms. Check out our guide on How to Post a Floor Plan on Realtor.com Property Pages for cross-platform optimization.
Head over to Apartments.com and log into your property manager account. If you manage multiple properties, select the correct one from your dashboard.
Look for the Media, Photos, or Property Media section in your listing editor. This is where Apartments.com lets you add images, videos, 3D tours, and floor plans.
You’ll see an Add Floor Plan button or tab. Click it to begin uploading your file.
📂 Accepted Formats:
Drag and drop your file or select it from your device. Apartments.com recommends a minimum width of 1000px for clear viewing on desktop and mobile.
💡 Pro Tip: Use high-resolution files to prevent blurry zooming. This is similar to our advice in How to Upload and Arrange Photos for Apartments.com.
Include the unit name (e.g., “2B/2B Deluxe”), square footage, and any standout features like “Walk-in Closet” or “Private Balcony.” These details help your listing appear in keyword-driven searches.
Click Preview to check the layout and ensure the floor plan loads properly on both desktop and mobile views. Once satisfied, hit Save or Publish.
While a simple diagram works, including dimensions makes your listing more trustworthy and helpful.
Overly complex designs can overwhelm viewers. Use light colors and clear labels for easy reading—similar to the best practices in How to Optimize Realtor.com Photo Galleries to Attract More Buyers.
Floor plans become even more effective when paired with 3D walkthroughs or video tours. If you haven’t yet, check out our guide on How to Add a 3D Tour to Apartments.com Listings for a complete immersive experience.
Your floor plan should be part of a visual storytelling package—just like your photos. Make sure they’re consistent in style and branding.
While Apartments.com doesn’t publicly reveal its ranking algorithm, listings with complete media sets (photos, videos, and floor plans) tend to appear more prominently in search results. This means your listing isn’t just more appealing—it may also be more visible.
