SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Trulia®, a
home and neighborhood site for homebuyers and renters, today
introduced Trulia Neighborhoods, a first-of-its-kind experience
sharing crowdsourced local knowledge, original photography, and
drone footage. With information on local safety, commute, and
parent reviews of nearby schools, Trulia Neighborhoods gives
consumers a genuine feel for what it's like to actually live in a
neighborhood. Trulia's new on-the-ground approach to
neighborhoods helps consumers answer practical questions and
determine if a neighborhood fits their lifestyle and needs.

Trulia Neighborhoods brings to life Trulia's new mission: to
build a more neighborly world by helping consumers discover a place
they will love to live. Through extensive consumer research
commissioned with Harris Interactive, Trulia found buyers and
renters were craving more neighborhood information and details. In
fact, Trulia found 85 percent of homebuyers who plan to buy a home
within 18 months say that the neighborhood is equally or more
important than the house.
Trulia Neighborhoods is the first product of its kind to give
consumers an authentic feel for everyday life in a neighborhood.
Rather than visiting multiple websites or scheduling a variety of
neighborhood visits, Trulia Neighborhoods gives buyers and renters
the chance to uncover and evaluate all factors of a neighborhood,
even the intangibles such as vibe, friendliness and street
noise.
"Prior to Trulia Neighborhoods, there wasn't a resource that
showed consumers what life is really like in a neighborhood," said
Tim Correia, senior vice president
and general manager, Trulia. "Our research found consumers were
determined to find this type of information and even developed a
series of hacks to source these valuable insights. It was clear it
was time to rebuild the home and neighborhood discovery experience
from the ground up and empower consumers with all the information
to make the best decision for themselves."
Trulia Neighborhoods follows the launch of two additional
neighborhood products introduced by Trulia this year, including
What Locals Say and Local Legal Protections. By combining original
visuals with local insights and public data, Trulia Neighborhoods
enables buyers and renters to:
- Get direct resident feedback: Trulia's What Locals Say
feature shares unique resident insights and feedback on the
neighborhood nuances that can't be found anywhere else including
ease of parking, whether the park is dog-friendly, or if neighbors
decorate their homes for the holidays. To date, more than 15
million locals have submitted responses and neighborhood
reviews.
- Dive into a neighborhood: Trulia deployed teams across
U.S. neighborhoods to capture unique, day-in-the-life content to
give buyers and renters an authentic view of where residents spend
their time. Trulia Neighborhoods features never-before seen aerial
drone footage, high-resolution photo galleries, and "Inside the
Neighborhood" stories, creating a visually-rich look of what life
is really like.
- Uncover local highlights and amenities: Discover the top
20 local favorites and see what amenities are available in and near
the neighborhood boundaries.
- Access hyper-local safety insights: Trulia Neighborhoods
provides a local perspective on safety, such as if the streets are
well lit and if there are paved sidewalks.
Trulia Neighborhoods is launching nationally, with enhanced
photography and drone footage available in more than 300
neighborhoods in San Francisco,
Oakland, San Jose, Austin, and Chicago. More than 1,100 additional enhanced
neighborhoods will be introduced throughout 2018. Get Trulia
Neighborhoods by downloading the Trulia app on your iOS or Android
