PropTech & Data Teams

The location infrastructure your product shouldn't have to build.

Address validation, neighbourhood lookup, boundary rendering, demographic context — it's the same undifferentiated plumbing, rebuilt by every PropTech team from scratch. Neighbourly is the shared infrastructure layer. Drop it into your stack via REST or GraphQL and ship the product, not the data pipeline.

Building location data infrastructure in-house means ingesting dozens of sources, reconciling schemas and maintaining spatial pipelines — before you write a line of product.

One API for all the Canadian location data you need.

Every PropTech team building a Canadian product hits the same wall: the data they need to make their product useful is fragmented across municipal open data portals, provincial datasets, Statistics Canada releases, and Canada Post infrastructure. None of it is normalized. None of it is queryable by address. And none of it has a clean API surface that a developer can integrate in a sprint.

Neighbourly solves this at the infrastructure level. A single API key gives you access to address standardization and geocoding, neighbourhood boundaries with GeoJSON output, building permit history by address, census-derived neighbourhood demographics, energy ratings and utility estimates, environmental data (lakes, Crown land, wildlife zones), and points of interest — all queryable by address or coordinate, all returning clean JSON.

The result is that your team spends time on the product layer — the UI, the business logic, the user experience — rather than on data plumbing. The undifferentiated infrastructure is handled. The differentiated product is yours to build.

Relevant data layers
  • Full Boundary Stack — Country, province, county, municipality, and neighbourhood — all linkable to a single address query with GeoJSON output.
  • Address Standardization & Geocoding — Clean, normalized Canadian addresses with lat/lng, postal code, and boundary linkage out of the box.
  • Real Estate — MLS/CREA-format listings through a connector to your listing feed, with viewport search and property-attribute filtering.
  • Demographics — Census-derived neighbourhood and Forward Sortation Area demographics for scoring, segmentation and location pages.
  • Building Permits — Full permit history at the address and neighbourhood — useful for condition scoring, renovation signals, and supply analysis.
  • Neighbourhood Data — Human-curated neighbourhood names, boundaries, and tags that reflect how Canadians actually describe their areas.
  • Energy Data — Verified utility data for energy-aware listing products, green scoring, and operating cost transparency.

What Neighbourly gives PropTech teams.

The specific, production-grade capabilities behind PropTech on Neighbourly — not features on a slide, but data and tooling you can ship on.

Unified ten-layer schema

All ten layers — boundaries, addresses, real estate, neighbourhoods, demographics, permits, environmental, energy, schools and business — share one schema under a single API key. Adding a data domain to your product means calling another endpoint, not onboarding another vendor.

REST and GraphQL parity

The same data is exposed over REST for simple endpoints and GraphQL for precise field selection, so your team picks the query model per surface. A single API key authenticates both.

Pre-joined hierarchy, no spatial joins

The geographic hierarchy is denormalized onto every record and geometry is pre-computed, so common lookups avoid runtime spatial joins entirely. This is the difference between a predictable API call and maintaining your own PostGIS pipeline.

Batch enrichment pipelines

Push records of addresses or coordinates through the enrichment endpoints to attach consistent location attributes across an entire dataset. The output schema is stable, so downstream models and warehouses stay clean.

Slug-based location page engine

The location-by-slug endpoint pairs with boundaries, Neighbourhood Data and demographics to power programmatic SEO pages with clean URLs. You can generate an area-page network without hand-authoring content.

Tiered access and rate control

Start on the Starter plan with an API key and appropriate rate limits, then scale plans as usage grows. This lets a team prototype cheaply and move to production without re-architecting integration.

How PropTech teams use Neighbourly.

One integration

Ten data layers, one schema and one key — add a layer without adding a vendor.

Production-grade performance

Pre-computed geometry and pre-joined hierarchy for fast, predictable responses.

Programmatic location pages

Build SEO location pages at scale on real boundaries and demographics.

Enrichment pipelines

Batch-enrich records with clean, consistent location attributes.

Why PropTech teams choose Neighbourly.

Build product, not plumbing

One integration replaces months of ingesting sources and maintaining spatial pipelines, so engineering time goes into your differentiator.

One vendor to reason about

A single key, schema and support relationship removes the coordination cost of stitching many geospatial providers together.

Predictable cost and performance

Pre-computed geometry and tiered rate limits make both latency and spend easy to forecast as you scale.

Room to grow into layers

You can launch on two layers and add environmental, energy or schools later without any new integration work.

Three ways to put Neighbourly to work for PropTech.

Use the data yourself, have us build the whole thing, or bring in our team for strategy and analysis — whatever fits how you work.

Build on the Neighbourly API

Wire standardized PropTech data straight into your product or workflow — REST and GraphQL, one key, Canada-wide.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about this data and how to use it.

How does Neighbourly help PropTech teams?

It adds address intelligence, neighbourhood boundaries, permits, demographics, and energy data to Canadian real estate products through one API.

Is the API developer-friendly?

Yes — REST endpoints, JSON/GeoJSON output, consistent RESO-aligned fields, and documentation for fast integration.

How quickly can we integrate?

Most teams are up and running within a day with an API key. Choose a plan and you're set up with an API key and the right rate limits, then scale up as your usage grows.

Can we white-label or embed the data?

Yes. Data can power your own UI, or we offer white-label products and embedded analytics.

Why use a location data API instead of building in-house?

One API with a consistent schema replaces months of ingesting sources, reconciling schemas and maintaining spatial pipelines — so your team ships product instead of plumbing.

How is the Neighbourly API queried?

By coordinate, address or bounding box, with a single API key, consistent JSON responses and Canada-wide coverage.

What data layers are available through one API?

Ten layers under one key and schema: boundaries, addresses, real estate, neighbourhoods, demographics, permits, environmental, energy, schools and business.

How does Neighbourly keep responses fast at scale?

Geometry is pre-computed and the hierarchy pre-joined onto every record, so queries avoid runtime spatial joins and stay fast and predictable.

Can I build programmatic SEO location pages?

Yes. Boundaries, demographics and neighbourhood content power SEO location pages at scale, with slug-based URLs via the location-by-slug endpoint.

How do we prototype before committing?

Start on the Starter plan, which gives you an API key and rate limits suited to building and testing, then move up a plan when you are ready for production traffic.

Can we mix REST and GraphQL in the same product?

Yes. Both interfaces sit over the same data under one key, so you can use GraphQL where you want tight field control and REST where a straightforward endpoint is simpler.

What if we need a data shape the API does not return directly?

You can compose it client-side from the existing layers, or engage a custom build or data services so we deliver a derived dataset or endpoint matched to your product.

How do we keep enriched records fresh in our warehouse?

Re-run the same batch enrichment on a schedule; because the schema is stable, refreshed attributes drop into your existing tables without migration.

How is it priced?

Usage-based, with no seat licences. See the pricing page for plan and contract terms.
