Mark Friend, VP of Marketing and Sales, reports exciting news from the Inman Conference in San Francisco where one of our innovative Real Estate customers, Estately, announced a new mapping tool on their website. This tool uses Maponics School Boundaries enabling home buyers to search for properties that fall within a particular school’s attendance zone. In addition to mapping school locations and boundaries in relationship to properties, users can also access information on individual schools including school type, grades served, student enrollment, and GreatSchools ranking. Estately has addressed home buyers demand for information beyond a property’s features. Parents consistently rate schools as a top factor in choosing where to live, and now they can quickly see school options relative to property locations allowing them to make more informed purchasing decisions.
The image below shows homes that fall within the school attendance zone for Garfield High School in Seattle, Washington.

In addition to school boundaries, Maponics also offers neighborhood, subdivision, and ZIP Code boundaries that are ideal for Real Estate and local search sites. Read our announcement this week on the expansion of our neighborhood and subdivision boundaries to more than 300,000 here.
