A goldmine of information on schools can be found in this Realtor.org article called, "A Field Guide to Schools and the Homebuying Decision," by Frederik Heller, NAR's manager for the virtual library and archives. He not only includes neighborhood links to Realtor.com, but also to the National Center For Educational Statistics, private companies that supply school data and links to state school information. School information can also easily be googled.

Family Watchdog
locates and maps sex offenders' homes and workplaces, and provides email alerts when a sex offender moves into the neighborhood. This is one of the requirements of Megan's Law, that convicted sex offenders register their home, work, and other addresses with local law enforcement, who in turn notify local communities that a registered sex offender is nearby. FamilyWatchdog.us offender search is provided as a community service at absolutely no charge to its visitors, says the site. You can input your address or the address of the home your are interested in buying and little squares pop up in a neighborhood grid. Each square represents an offender. Click on the square and find photos, convictions, and more.
