24 alternatives to An interactive dashboard to explore NYC rentals data

I realized I had access to some original data from a previous project so I built a dashboard to help me visualize the changes and see for myself. you can filter by neighborhoods, bedrooms, original source where the rentals were posted, and select a timeframe. this is still a work in progress, so apologies in advance for any issues you encounter. I would love any…

For the past few months, I've been working on a website that answers two different questions: - Where in my city have the best travel times to all the things and people I care about? - Given a listing, how far is it from all the things and people I care about? Personally this was fueled by my own frustrations when I was apartment hunting in NYC. I was frustrating to have to juggle so many Google Maps tabs when I was evaluating a listing, and it was also annoying to not have full confidence that I was even searching in the right places. I wanted to be close to work, a Trader Joe's, and a…

Hey HN! After spending years watching my community get pushed out of my neighborhood in NYC due to rising rents, I built Realer Estate to find the undervalued homes that actually exist in NYC's impossible housing market so people can find the homes that they can actually afford. The platform uses AI to: - Detect rent-stabilized listings even when landlords don't label them (using NLP + pricing anomalies) - Score properties on price-to-market ratios using real-time comps - Filter out investor-targeted flips to prioritize real people - Scrape live data from StreetEasy/Redfin and update…
