Nearlyst is a proximity tool that helps you evaluate a potential home by what's actually within a short drive. Paste any address, pick the categories that matter to you — grocery stores, gyms, schools, parks, transit, medical care, and more — and we calculate real driving times to the nearest options using live Google data. You can assess a single address or compare up to three side by side, so you can see at a glance which neighborhood fits your daily life.
It's built for people in the middle of a move: home buyers weighing neighborhoods, renters comparing listings, and relocating families who need to know how far the nearest hospital or elementary school really is. Real estate agents use Nearlyst too — each agent gets a portal to brand the experience, hand out 30-day access codes to their clients, and walk them through a neighborhood with the agent's name and logo right at the top.
Beyond the essentials, you can add your own personal destinations — a parent's house, a partner's office, a favorite trailhead — and see the drive time to each alongside the standard categories. A custom search box lets you narrow any category to the specific places you care about, like a particular grocery chain or a house of worship. Everything updates in real time as you refine what matters.
Nearlyst is built by a small team focused on one idea: the right home isn't only about the house — it's about what surrounds it. We're continually adding categories, refining the data, and shaping the tool around how people actually evaluate a move. We'd love to hear what you'd want next.
