You can now see what Yelp-reviewed grocery stores, bars, fitness centers, and restaurants are near the apartments for rent that you’re looking at!
To see these, just move the map to the area you want to check, open up the Super Secret Advanced Features, and at the bottom you should see links for different categories. Click one, wait a bit, and a new type of marker will show up on the map. Click one of those, and you’ll see the average rating and the name with a link to the reviews page on Yelp.
Check out the apartments for rent amenities on PadMapper, and let me know how it goes.
Just gotta say your website is fantastic. I just found it by accident on some brokers website. I’m looking for an apartment in philly. So thanks, Brian
That’s a really smart feature, Eric. I was using the email alerts feature late last year while looking for a new pad, really helped man.
I was just clicking through your site now… I wonder whether it would help if you kept the “Filter Listings” section maybe semi-expanded from the get-go. I feel like it’s a huge value-add and keeps us focused on the search exp, but could be easily overlooked by some new users.
Anyway, great job so far
Hey Sayem, Brian, thanks!
Sayem – Yeah, that’s a good point. I’ve thought a lot about it, I suppose the tradeoff is that it takes up a lot of space and someone who’s not interested might not know how to close it. It might be worth an A/B test, though.
Yeah, needs to be balanced with the sleek layout, but def test it out to see if it engages more first-time visitors. Maybe just a semi-expansion, instead of the entire list of options.
