Apartment looking

I am in the mists of looking for a place to live. I thought it would be easy, but it's not! I have looked for the past 2.5 weeks. Nothing, nothing has come across my path that has made me want to live there. A lot of places are okay or decent, but not for me. I contacted a place that owns like 786575 complexes and they told me nothing until November. I don't know if I want to wait around until then. I know it is only a few weeks away, but it is getting cold outside and who is really going to want to help me move?
