Get the 411 on Everything Local for 50,000 Communities

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13 -- Cool heat maps, rich data on local schools, and new tools including sliders measuring a neighborhood's "hip" factor and family-friendliness distinguish Find A Neighborhood, a new online search tool premiering today on REALTOR.com. Available on the homepage at REALTOR.com(R), Find A Neighborhood goes beyond census data and search engine factoids by delivering details on 50,000 neighborhoods in 34 major metro areas.

This unparalleled neighborhood search capability provides consumers with a visual overview of a neighborhood through high-resolution photos and interactive satellite maps while connecting them with reliable local details on community history and personality, resident lifestyles, average home and rental prices, park locations, population changes, household income, as well as proximity to professional sports franchises or universities for some communities.

Find A Neighborhood also delivers information not found on other sites including reliable ratings information on local schools provided by GreatSchools that includes feedback from parents, a Wikihood feature used by locals to define their favorite areas, REALTOR.com listings with local REALTOR(R) contact information, and details on whether locals are considered "Digerati", "Upper Crust" or any one of 64 lifestyle categories. Consumers can now find everything they'll want and need on Find A Neighborhood, including listings in a selected neighborhood, when searching for reliable local information.

"Because neighborhood information is one of the most important factors people want when considering a move," said REALTOR.com President, Errol Samuelson. "We developed Find A Neighborhood, to give consumers the ability to see and feel an area before they use valuable time searching for a home. It's also a great discovery tool for new arrivals or locals interested in learning more about their own neighborhood."

Residents are encouraged to customize, establish and describe their favorite, everyday areas of town through Wikihood, a unique and exclusive feature of Find A Neighborhood. Other opportunities for locals to share their view of their local neighborhood include features for uploading favorite videos offering unique insight into the community's personality.

Find A Neighborhood currently features the following cities: Chicago; Houston; New York; Los Angeles; Phoenix; San Antonio; Philadelphia; Dallas; San Diego; Las Vegas; Atlanta; Charlotte; Austin; Denver; Jacksonville; Seattle; Baltimore; San Jose; Columbus; Tucson; Indianapolis; Louisville; Washington; San Francisco; Miami; Tampa; Sacramento; Milwaukee; Raleigh; Orlando; Boston; Thousand Oaks; and Kansas City.
