Our story

A missed school zone, three open tabs, and a spreadsheet that shouldn't have needed to exist.

House-hunting across Perth's northern suburbs usually means three browser tabs open at once — a real estate site for listings, a school zone map for catchments, and a crime stats page for safety.

None of that information lives in one place. Someone has to stitch it together by hand, and it's easy to miss something that matters.

That gap is why where2live exists — property type, price, crime rate, and schools, brought together on one map.
