I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- the apartments with waiting lists are highly, highly, HIGHLY overrated. They’re significantly more expensive than the non-corporately owned apartments, they’re louder because they’re bigger, and they’re fairly bare bones. Before I found my apartment I was DYING to get into one of the plaza buildings- Kelton Plaza, Atrium Court, Midvale Plaza. Now I’m SO GLAD that I wound up where I am because I have tons of friends who live in those buildings and can vouch for the fact that my building is so. much. better.

That said, there should be openings in June, but the vast majority of leases in Westwood open up in August and September. Maybe July, depending. The buildings without waiting lists definitely won’t take your calls now because of this- they don’t know who is going to renew and who isn’t (and since tenants only usually give 30 days notice, they won’t know for quite some time).

Really my best advice is to start walking around in June or July and look at signs, take numbers, and do it that way. You’re likely to find a much better place for much less money than if you just flock onto the waiting list of one of the big buildings.
