Neighborhoods

If you asked a homebuyer to tell you about their ideal place to live, they wouldn’t speak in zip codes or even major city names. So why is it that most real estate sites are powered to enable search only by these parameters? Onboard’s Neighborhood Information and Boundaries give you the tools to speak the language of your customers and give your site the edge over competitors, whether it’s SoHo in NYC or Westwood in Los Angeles.

Take your site traffic deeper into local communities – right down to the neighborhood level. We’ve created a suite of resources to make it easy for your team to create powerful neighborhood level search on your site, no matter your user engagement goals or stage of development.

Our neighborhood encoded information can be tied to both IDX listings search as well as comprehensive demographic, school, points of interest and market data aggregated and displayed at the neighborhood level.
