Verified neighbors
Address verification helps establish that participants belong to the neighborhood.
Our Block for HOAs
Bring your neighborhood closer. One block at a time.
Give verified neighbors a dedicated place to share updates, ask for help, and get to know one another—across the neighborhood and on their own block.
Verified neighbors. No social media groups required. Built for your neighborhood.
Built for everyday neighborhood life
A useful place for the conversations between notices.

03
Your neighborhood—and your block
Make room for broader neighborhood conversations and everyday conversations with immediate neighbors.
04
A dedicated place for neighborhood life
Share updates, questions, recommendations, events and timely local information in one neighborhood-focused app.

More ways to participate
Welcome newcomers, borrow a tool, find a lost pet, organize a gathering or recommend someone local.
06
Works with your existing HOA tools
Our Block complements your HOA website, management portal and email rather than replacing them.
Two levels of connection
The wider neighborhood. The people right outside.
Some conversations belong across the community. Others are most useful with the neighbors on your block.
We’ll help you confirm the blocks and group setup that fit your community.
