New site sums up pros and cons of addresses/neighborhoods
« on: April 12, 2018, 04:25:44 PM »
Real estate listings in New York may do a great job of showing off a piece of property and highlighting some of its neighborhood’s best assets, but those cherrypicked details don’t portray the actual experience of living in a place. A new mobile-first website, called Localize.city, looks to inform renters and buyers about the areas they’re looking to move into by harnessing, and simplifying, droves of data about everything from shadow cover to current and future construction nearby.

This story has more info on the site:

I was pretty impressed with what it pulled together for my address—much more thorough info than you'd usually be able to find (easily) about an address you're considering living at:

at first glance, this is a great resource. so many of the "unbiased" sites are opaquely run by those with a vested interest in hyping sales. it's nice to see an even playing field.
