Mapping Neighborhoods...by Social Descriptions

About

Are you trying to understand a new city, but ordinary street maps aren’t helping? The Urbane team creates maps that replace place names (ex., Beverly Hills) with locally crowd-sourced adjectives (ex., rich and famous) in fun and informative ways so that you can empower yourself to find the next neighborhood to relocate or explore. Our website maintains an average of 100,000+ monthly users - proving mass-market interest. After interviews and inquiries to us by companies in the real estate sector, we're really interested in taking our data to the next step. Users have told us they us Urbane as a third-party verification process to understand new cities outside of their friends, family, or work colleagues. So while we used to sell physical maps, we'd now like to put all of our content online and orient the data specifically to the real estate sector, more specifically to individuals and agents who are helping each other find the perfect neighborhood to relocate.
