Estimating rent with very limited info

Im researching a couple of properties and the Zillow estimate for rent seems really low. There are now other houses currently available for rent in the area with the same number of beds and a similar sq footage. Almost everything is apartments in the bad part of town or large houses in the mid to high income areas. I checked craigs list and there are only apartments listed. Rentometer is comparing the homes only to apartments. The only idea I have left is to ask my realtor if she can provide me info off the MLS. Does anyone have any suggestions?
