It's a fun side project but something I think needs to exist. I found it difficult to see how places were changing over time (ie are schools getting better or worse, is income increasing or decreasing, etc..) Would love to hear your feedback or meet individuals interested in working together. [email protected]

Testing Help: Map view and place finder. Is the map view helpful? Is the place finder easy to use?

I think it would be really cool if a town official provided a quarterly/annual statement highlighting their area but that might be too time-consuming and expensive to get.
Young families, first-time home buyers and anyone making a move to an area they aren't familiar with.
Thanks for the feedback!
Hey HN, excited to share a side project I’ve been working on for the past few months. This started after getting frustrated trying to figure out where to live. I wanted an easy way to see how an area was changing. Are schools improving or getting worse? Is housing inventory increasing or decreasing? How does this compare to historic levels?Search Away brings together housing, income,...
