TICs, Lofts and Co-Ops – Oh My!

December 13, 2008

Single family homes and condominiums are sprinkled all over San Francisco.  But what about TICs, lofts, and stock cooperatives?  We built some maps to show their geographic distribution across the City.  Here’s a look:

Geeking Out With Maps

October 29, 2008

We’re big map geeks.  We love anything that saves us time, makes us more productive, or is a Google Maps mash-up.  We’ve discovered some especially useful ones recently and wanted to share them with you!

The first allows you to browse a Google map, click anywhere, and receive an instant postal address for that location.  We’ve found it to be surprisingly accurate.  Check it out HERE.

The next one populates movie theaters on a map.  When you click on a theater, the movie times pop up.  Sweet!

Rent by Map

October 26, 2008

Today we learned about a new website, MapsKrieg, that attempts to map out homes for sale, apartments for rent, roomshares, temporary housing, and sublets on a map.  Apparently the data is pulled from CraigsList ads and then populated into Google maps.

We found it to work quite well for rentals.  Homes for sale… mmm, not so much, but remember that these are populating CraigsList ads only.  The overall concept is good, the user-interface is idiot-proof, and usefulness is excellent if you’re currently looking for apartments by location.  Check it out at http://www.mapskrieg.com/view/sfbay.
