How it works
Answer six questions
Pick a city or a whole metro area, then tell us about your household, pets, budget, commute, schools and the life you want. About two minutes.
See your best-fit neighborhoods
Each neighborhood gets a match score from 0 to 100. Weak matches are left out, so your list stays short.
Explore and plan your move
Open a neighborhood for its map, rents, schools and favorite places, then compare costs, look at rentals and plan your move.

Why you can trust the numbers
Sources you can check
Living costs, taxes and home values come from official and primary public sources such as CMHC, HUD, municipal assessment rolls, the Redfin Data Center and the Bank of Canada, never from crowd-sourced indexes. The app shows the source next to the figures.
How scores work
Scores are calculated on your device from your answers. Budget and commute weigh most, then schools if they matter to you, then lifestyle and pets. Your quiz answers are shared with Pacific Relocation without your name, so we can improve matches.
Places, never people
The "French schools & life" and "LGBTQ+ community" choices look at what's nearby: schools, community centers, venues. They are never based on who lives in a neighborhood. Today that means 360+ French-language places and nearly 200 LGBTQ+ community places, including recognized districts such as Davie Village, Capitol Hill and the Castro.
An account only if you want one
Your top three matches need no account. A free sign-in with Apple, Google or an emailed code (no password) shows the rest and keeps your search. You can delete your account from your account page.
For French speakers
Choose "French schools & life" in the quiz and neighborhoods near francophone schools, French immersion, a lycée français, francophone centers or an Alliance Française move up your list. Each neighborhood page shows these places with their distance. The whole app is also in French, and you can book your call in French.

Where does the data come from?

Does it work in both Canada and the US?
Yes. Prices show in the local currency and the checklist follows the country you're moving to. Live rental counts cover US cities for now.
Which languages is it in?
English, French and Spanish.
Can it help me rent or buy?
Renting: rent ranges by neighborhood, live US listings and one-tap links to the main rental sites. Buying: typical home values and a monthly mortgage estimate. Want us to find places for you? Book a consult.
