Google Street View

Now on our website you can see actual street-level views of neighborhoods surrounding a property.

Google Street View is a technology featured in Google Maps and Google Earth that provides panoramic views to it's users from various positions along just about all streets in the world. Google Street View was launched on 5/25/07, originally only in select cities in the U.S., and has since gradually expanded to include most urban cities and rural areas worldwide.

GSV displays images taken from a small fleet of specially adapted cars and areas not accessible by car, like pedestrian areas, narrow streets, alleys and ski resorts, are sometimes covered by Google Trikes.

Microsoft Bird's Eye View

We love all of Google's little gadgets and the mapping technology they provide, but as awesome as they are, there are other platforms that I have found that offer goodies not yet available through Google Mapping such as Microsoft's "birds eye view" – Very cool!

Local (Demographics) Module

This is a new tab on the Alabama property details pages of each listing which, when clicked, will provides detailed statistics and other demographic information about the community area. It also details community characteristics, population statistics, financial statistics, crime rates, weather & climate, and much more!
