Early access · Greater Boston

Distance lies. Time doesn’t.

  • 01

    You search by zip code and price. Then you open Google Maps and check every commute by hand.

  • 02

    A 12-mile listing can mean a 55-minute commute. Distance lies; time doesn’t.

  • 03

    Nobody shows you the actual route — which station, which line, how many transfers — before you fall for the house.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Enter your office address

    One or two of them, and the time you need to be there.

  2. Step 2

    See your commute map

    Everywhere you can actually reach in your time budget.

  3. Step 3

    Browse homes by commute

    Each one is badged with its real commute. Click any listing for the step-by-step breakdown.

Built for the way you actually commute

  • Real routes, not radii.

    Every listing shows the station, line, transfers — or the highway route with traffic.

  • Two-office mode.

    One map for both commutes. Only homes that work for both make the cut.

  • Hybrid math.

    Every home leads with your one-way time to work. Tell it your days in office and it adds your true weekly commute hours.

  • Boston-native data.

    MBTA schedules, real-time reliability, traffic-aware driving.

Questions

Where does the commute data come from?

Transit times come from the MBTA’s published schedules and real-time feeds. Driving times come from traffic-aware routing for the time you need to arrive.

How accurate are the times?

They’re scheduled times plus historical reliability, spot-checked against real commutes. Treat them as planning-grade, not gospel — we show our work on every listing.

Do you list rentals?

For-sale homes first. Rentals are on the roadmap.

When is my city launching?

Join the waitlist and vote for your metro. Expansion follows demand.

How much will it cost?

Free during early access. Paid plans come later, and early users get founding pricing.

You don’t live in a zip code. You live in a commute.
