Choosing a place to live is one of the most significant decisions you'll ever make. It's not just about the house itself—it's about the neighborhood, the community, and the lifestyle that comes with it. Today, I’m excited to announce the launch of PickYourPlace—a tool designed to empower you with the insights you need to make informed decisions and find the right home.

The idea for PickYourPlace started back in 2018 when I was searching for a new home. Like many people, I turned to real estate websites, but I quickly realized something was missing. Most platforms focused solely on the interior of properties—details like the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, or square footage. While important, these features didn’t give me a complete picture of what it would actually be like to live there.

I was more interested in the surroundings: the safety of the neighborhood, proximity to schools and healthcare, and access to public transit. Some platforms provided this kind of information, but they often presented it using hard-to-interpret indices or ratings.
