Get to Know The Neighborhood Of Your Investment Home

While everyone’s investment process and criteria are different, we have asked and noticed a trend of people who rank neighborhood quality as one of the top parameters in choosing their investment property.

Previously, Doorvest developed its own neighborhood score calculation to rank neighborhoods based on parameters such as crime rates and other variables. But now, we’ve double-downed on the Doorvest Neighborhood Score by powering its backbone with Niche.

From Niche:

Niche has the most comprehensive data on U.S. schools and neighborhoods.



We rigorously analyze dozens of public data sets and over 100 million reviews and survey responses to help you understand what a place is really like.

Before we continue, we wanted to give many thanks for the gracious feedback provided by many of you. This includes feature requests, bug fixes, and overall process suggestions.

New Functionality

You can read more about the design and ideation process below, but first, let’s cover what functionality has been added!

You’ll see an exciting new section on our Doorvest Home Profile that will give you an insight into the overall Home Overall Grade, which is a collection of data from millions of reviews and public data sets captured by Niche. You can read more on the Niche data philosophy in their article here, but to highlight a few, they collect public data from FBI, the U.S. Census, and more to calculate this grade.
