— Features: Living here

What it is like
to live there.

Every listing, neighborhood and building page grows a section that answers what buyers ask next: what is nearby, how to get around, the schools, the commute and the flood zone.

Live demo on real Florida MLS listings. Your own site shows sample listings until your MLS is connected.

— What a visitor sees

A section every listing grows by itself

Under the location map of every listing, and on every neighborhood and building page, IDX Bloom adds Living here: an interactive map, what is around the home, how to get around, the schools, a commute box, the flood and evacuation zone, and how the home compares to its building, neighborhood and city.

No setup and no key. On a new install it is on from day one, in the 7-day trial too, and included in the $49 a month plan; a site upgraded from an earlier version switches it on in Settings, More settings, Living here. It is written as real text in English and Spanish, so Google and AI answers can read it.

The Around here part of the Living here section: scores for everyday errands, outdoors and health care, then cards for restaurants, cafes, bus stops, banks, gyms, nightlife, train stations and shopping, each with the count within a 10-minute walk and the three nearest places.

— How it works

Three steps

1

A listing page loads

IDX Bloom asks its own data service for the facts about that home, once, and keeps the answer for 24 hours. A page never waits for the service: on a page it has not seen before, the section appears from the next view on. Your site stays light.

2

The section is written

Real text on your own domain, in the language of the page, with a plain-language summary built from the facts. Any part with no data hides itself.

3

The buyer explores

Tap a category on the map, open the lists, type a destination in the commute box. The map and the commute box are the only parts that run scripts.

— What you get

The details

Interactive map

Centered on the home, with category chips (cafes, groceries, parks, transit, schools and more), pins, and a ring for a 10-minute walk. Without scripts, the Around here list stands in for the map. A home with a hidden address shows the ring only.

Around here

For each kind of place, the count within a 10-minute and a 20-minute walk and the three nearest, with distance and walk minutes. Scores for everyday errands, outdoors and health care, each with its reason in words.

Getting around

Walk, Transit, Bike and Car scores from 0 to 10, each with the sentence that explains it, the nearest rail station with trains an hour, and the bus stops within 800 meters.

Schools

The nearest elementary, middle and high school with the Florida Department of Education grade and year, distance and walk time, and a link to the state page. The zoned school is not confirmed, and the page says so.

Commute box

A buyer types a work address, a school or an airport, or taps MIA, FLL, PBI, Brickell, Downtown Miami, Miami Beach or PortMiami, and sees drive, transit, walk and bike minutes. These are typical times, not live traffic.

Flood and storm facts

The FEMA flood zone and whether the address is in a Special Flood Hazard Area, with the map date and the official link, and the county hurricane evacuation zone where the county publishes one. A screening, not a determination, and never a score.

Compared to the area

This home against its building, neighborhood and city: price per square foot, HOA per square foot, days on market and sale price against list price, with a plain sentence such as price per square foot is 5% above the building average.

In the building

For condos: the HOA fee, year built, number of units, amenities and a link to the building page.

Your own note, first

Write a short note for a neighborhood or a building in Settings, Living here. It shows first, with your name. No data vendor can sell that.

— Schools and commute

The parts buyers use most

Three school cards with the state grade, a commute box with quick picks, and the real flood facts, in one place.

— Risk and comparison

Plain facts, with their sources

Flood and evacuation facts with the official links, and a table that sets the home against its building, neighborhood and city.

— Put it anywhere

A shortcode and a block

The section appears by itself on listing, neighborhood and building pages. To drop it onto a page you already have, such as an area guide or your home page, use the shortcode [idx_bloom_local place= building= listing= parts= lang= title=] or the block IDX Bloom, Living here. Pick any mix of parts.

Each part has its own switch in Settings, Living here, and there is one master switch. A part you switch off stays off, even when a shortcode asks for it.

What it will never do

  • No crime data, no demographics and no good or bad neighborhood labels. Facts and their sources only.
  • Flood and evacuation facts are a screening with the official link, not a determination. Ask your insurer and a surveyor before you rely on them.
  • The commute is a typical time, not live traffic. The school grade is the state grade for the year shown, and the zoned school is not confirmed: ask the district.
  • Where we have no data for a place, that part hides itself. You never see an empty box or a row of N/A.
  • Sea-level and noise layers are next, not in this release.

Credits shown on the page where the data requires them: OpenFreeMap, OpenMapTiles and OpenStreetMap contributors for the map, FEMA for flood zones, the Florida Department of Education for school grades. The map library loads from cdnjs and the map tiles from OpenFreeMap, so a visitor's address reaches those hosts when the map opens. Nothing else is called from the visitor's browser.

Questions about this feature

What is IDX Bloom?

An AI-powered IDX plugin for WordPress real estate sites. You install it once; it reads every page, places the right listings and a plain-words search box on it (lead forms switch on with the $49 plan), and grows the neighborhood and building pages your site is missing, in English and Spanish.

Does it work in Spanish?

Yes. Search, listing cards, lead forms and grown pages all work in English and Spanish, with Spanish twin pages and hreflang between the two languages.

What does the plugin keep on my site?

Cached listing data, your leads, buyer accounts, and settings, all inside your own WordPress. Nothing is saved into the content of your existing pages; going live adds one new page, Search homes.

Do I need a key or an account for the map or the commute box?

No. The data comes from IDX Bloom's own service, and the commute lookup runs there too, so no key lives on your site.

Is Living here on in the free trial?

Yes, on a new install: it is on from the start and included in the $49 a month plan. A site upgraded from an earlier version switches it on in Settings, More settings, Living here. One master switch and one switch per part let you turn it off.

Which areas are covered?

South Florida first. Where IDX Bloom has no data for a place, that part of the section hides itself instead of showing an empty box.

Does it rank schools or neighborhoods as good or bad?

No. It shows the state's own school grade with its year, facts and counts, and the source. It never labels a neighborhood.

Can I add my own words?

Yes. Write a short note for a neighborhood or building in Settings, Living here. It shows first, with your name.
