Neighboroo.com - New website to find neighborhood data

Many websites have popped up lately to help homebuyers and real estate agents to easily research any U.S. location. Unlike sites like www.zillow.com and others, www.neighboroo.com concentrates on neighborhood data and not on house value.

By entering a physical address, zip code or landmark into Neighboroo, or by simply clicking anywhere on the U.S. map, users receive details and statistics about the location based on eight categories, each with subcategories:

Populace -- Population density, gender ratio, politics and religion.
Housing -- Home and rent prices, cost of living, taxes and years in residence.
Schools -- Performance, diplomas and college education.
Safety -- Crime statistics and severe weather.
Health -- Environmental factors and physicians per capita.
Climate -- Temperature, rainfall and snowfall.
Income/Work -- Household income, commute time, unemployment and job growth.
Age/Ethnicity -- Age groups.

This looks like a really neat site to get a grip on all of these factors that are so important to homebuyers. If you are interested in gaining access to the largest listing database in the country, contact me to find out about the Homebuyers Scouting Report.
