Reposting with permission from the builders because I love this product:<p>Introducing LiveNearFriends (livenearfriends.com): A platform designed to help you live within a 5-minute walk from your close friends or family.<p>While most real estate platforms focus on physical amenities, we prioritize social connection. Research shows living near friends boosts happiness by up to 50%.<p>How It Works:<p>Alerts: Be the first to know when a home is available within 5 minutes of your friends. Customize the alerts to your liking.
Conversations: Express the desire to live near someone in a fun, no-pressure manner.
Two Scenarios:<p>Scenario #1 - Friends Move Near You: Create a "LiveNearMe Link" with your address. Friends can then get alerts for custom listings around your location.
Scenario #2 - You Move Near Friends: Enter your friends' addresses and receive customized listings within a 5-minute walk from them.
Why 5 minutes? It's the sweet spot for frictionless social interactions. And research indicates happiness benefits diminish after 1/2 a mile. For less dense areas, we extend the radius to 10 minutes.<p>Personal Experience: Over the past 4 years, a dozen friends moved near me in the Bay Area. We've formed a tight-knit community, sharing life's little moments and joys.<p>Closing Thought: Choose to live near strangers or friends. The difference? Your happiness.<p>Feedback?
