BlockParty is the overnight intelligence brief that shows you what only locals know — schools, safety, vibe, and the stuff your agent won't say. For families relocating internationally. In English & 中文.
Same address. Completely different picture.
Relocating from Shanghai, London, or Sydney. You can't drive the streets, talk to neighbours, or feel the vibe. You're buying a postcode, not a home.
School ratings and crime stats are free. But which streets are best? Where do families walk? What's it actually feel like at 6pm? That's not on any website.
They won't mention the highway noise or that redistricting could move your kids next year. You need intel from someone with zero agenda.
Every brief is hand-crafted with editorial care and data precision.
Enrollment trends, teacher retention, AP pass rates, feeder patterns, and how your specific street maps to school boundaries.
Block-by-block crime data. Property vs. violent crime. 3-year trends. Pedestrian safety on school walking routes.
Planned developments, zoning changes, transit expansion. What this neighbourhood looks like in 3–5 years.
Demographics, diversity, owner vs. renter ratio, local businesses, parks. The texture of daily life.
Price trends, appreciation rates, street-level premiums. Which blocks command the premium and why.
The stuff only locals know — quiet streets, school shortcuts, the park not on Zillow, the freeway noise.
Professionally adapted — not translated — for Mandarin-speaking families. Cultural context, school equivalents, and 学区房 analysis included.
Every brief includes our proprietary neighbourhood rating — percentile-ranked against 12,000+ neighbourhoods, weighted for school boundary stability, development risk, and family infrastructure.
Academic quality, teacher retention, boundary stability, feeder strength, and parent investment.
Safety, noise levels, traffic density, walkability, and pedestrian infrastructure on school routes.
Development pipeline, appreciation trajectory, infrastructure investment, and gentrification signals.
Community composition, cultural amenities, language accessibility, parks, and family-friendly infrastructure.
Tell us which neighbourhood you're considering. We cover 1,000+ postcodes across the US, Canada, UK, and Australia.
Our analysts compile 200+ data points from 15+ sources and write editorial-grade insights — reviewed by a human editor.
Your neighbourhood brief lands in your inbox — in English and 中文 — with BlockParty Index™ scores, maps, and street-level notes.
We don't translate — we culturally adapt every brief for Chinese families making cross-border moves. 学区房 analysis, community framing, and local context that works whether you're reading in Cupertino or Shanghai.
Based on real neighbourhood research scenarios. Names changed for privacy.
"We were choosing between two $2M homes — one on Blaney Ave, one on Hollenbeck. BlockParty showed us Blaney was about to be redistricted out of the top elementary school. We chose Hollenbeck. Best $250 we've ever spent."
"Our agent called the area 'up and coming.' The brief showed property crime up 22% and a highway expansion planned 400 feet from the backyard. We walked away and found a better fit."
"The 中文 version explained the IB programme in terms my mother-in-law actually understood — comparing it to 重点中学 in Shenzhen. She read the whole brief and said '这个地方可以.' That's all we needed."
Most families are choosing between 2–3 areas. The bundle exists for exactly that reason.
