Hey PH! Abhijit, Darren, and I worked as a team to build Hopscotch. If you’re moving to NYC (or thinking about it), Hopscotch helps you discover suitable neighborhoods that best align with your needs or wants. We built Hopscotch to reduce the hassle of mining through various sources to find your optimal living location. Some features: - Hopscotch incorporates many filters including proximity to specific locations, budget, safety, nearby stores and gyms, subway lines and citi bikes, and more. - Hopscotch allows you to customize your priorities and receive personalized recommendations for top neighborhoods and communities. - You can instantly see your priorities reflected on an interactive map and visualize the best neighborhood locations. Hopscotch was created at Hack Lodge, a week-long hackathon in NYC this past month. While Hopscotch currently serves NYC, we plan to expand to other cities in the future. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Super cool concept, and great UI! Have you thought about incorporating neighborhood sound / popularity level? Thinking about my own apartment search in nyc... I know I was very concerned about living in a neighborhood that felt too busy and loud. Ease of access to the major airports (or Penn/Grand Central) is important too. Maybe have those as auto-populated suggestions rather than making users have to search for them? Congrats on the launch 👏

Very cool! This would have been super useful when I lived in NYC! What sources of data do you use for this? Any open data sources you can link to?

Such an awesome and useful tool! I love the concept and interface of Hopscotch! I can't wait for this to be used in other cities as well!

Very interesting concept! I wish this could integrate with a real estate search engine, to combine personal preferences with the reality of the market

Love this! I’m going to try and use this when I travel to NYC!
