At HotPads we think that it should be easier to find rental and for-sale housing. With HotPads' innovative map-based search, we are striving to give people the best communication platform for sharing information about available housing.
Our users can search for housing based on the most important criterion: LOCATION. You can easily see where properties are located in relation to where you work, where you go out, where your friends live or anything else.
To begin, click on a city name or type in a location. You will be taken to the map. If you there are too many listings to be displayed, you will notice that there are summary squares that tell you how many properties are in a given location.
Then, you can continue to zoom in to narrow down the area and filter the listings based on your search criteria.
We even display various points of interest on the maps alongside the listings. Therefore, you can see how close a property you are viewing is to public transportation, schools, and universities.
