A page for every neighbourhood you work in, at its own address on your site: your photos, your words, a video if you have one, and a button that searches the listings there. On every listing in that area, a census profile from Statistics Canada says who actually lives there.
Leslieville
searchSearch LeslievilleLeslieville sits between the Don Valley and Greenwood, a ten-minute streetcar ride to downtown. Queen East is the high street: independent bakeries, two farmers' markets and the Saturday crowd outside Bonjour Brioche.
Housing is mostly two- and three-storey Victorian rows, with new mid-rise condos along Eastern Avenue and Carlaw.
Neighbourhood and figures shown are an example.
Portals have the listings. What they do not have is someone who has walked the streets. A neighbourhood page is where that goes, in your own photos and your own words, on an address that belongs to your brokerage.
Photographs up to 2 MB each, shown as a hero and a gallery with a full-size preview. A written guide with headings, lists and links. A YouTube video, embedded on the page when you add its address.
Every page lives at /neighborhoods/ followed by a slug made from its name, which you can change. Its search title and description are yours to write; without them the page uses its name.
Turn on Search and the page carries a button that opens your listing filters for that area: for sale or lease, property type, price, bedrooms, bathrooms. One tap later the visitor is looking at what is on the market there.
Neighbourhoods are managed from the brokerage portal by an admin. Each one is edited a section at a time: Basics for the name, status and address; Photos; Description; and SEO & video. Save when you are done.
When a visitor opens a listing, its Neighbourhood section shows the people around it: how many, what households earn, who owns and who rents, ages, household types and first languages. The figures come from the 2021 Census of Canada, aggregated to each neighbourhood's mapped boundary.
The listings map draws neighbourhood outlines from the MLS feed's own location data, not from a geocoder. The name on the shape is the name the feed files listings under, so a boundary on the map and a neighbourhood filter always agree.
Outlines from another source would have to be fuzzy-matched onto MLS naming, and the mismatches would land on your visitors. These come with the same names the listings carry.
The outlines show where neighbourhoods are; they do not decide what is listed. A viewport over water, or a city whose neighbourhoods carry no boundary, simply draws nothing.
The census key, the map outline, the listing's neighbourhood field and the Search button on a guide all use the feed's naming, so one place is one place across the site.
A neighbourhood guide is the kind of page people search for by name. Each one is rendered on the server as ordinary HTML at a stable address, with the title and description you wrote.
Set both under SEO & video. Left blank, the page is titled by its name, so nothing ships untitled.
A draft returns nothing at its address, not a half-built page. Unpublish a guide and it disappears the same way.
The Neighborhoods section and the index page link every published guide, so crawlers and visitors reach them from the front door.
Neighbourhood pages are part of the brokerage site on every RealViu plan. The census profile and the Search button need listings to attach to, so they appear once your MLS feed is connected.

Census figures: Statistics Canada, 2021 Census, aggregated by neighbourhood boundary. Coverage today is 966 neighbourhoods across 106 Canadian cities.
No, and you cannot. The census profile is not part of the guide you write; it appears on listing pages, matched to each listing's city and neighbourhood from the 2021 Census. Your guide is the part only you can write: the photos, the description and the video.
In the Neighbourhood section of a listing page, for any listing whose city and neighbourhood match a mapped census area. Coverage is 966 neighbourhoods across 106 cities today. Where there is no match, the section explains that a profile is not available rather than showing a blank.
Your site's domain followed by /neighborhoods/ and the slug. The slug is generated from the name, lower case with hyphens, and you can change it before publishing. The index of all published guides is at /neighborhoods.
No. A draft returns nothing at its address, and it is left off the index and the home page. Set the status to Published and save; from then on the page is live and search engines can find it.
It opens your listing filters with the neighbourhood already chosen: for sale or lease, property type, price or lease amount, bedrooms and bathrooms. Applying them takes the visitor to your listings page. Turn it on or off for all guides under Site edit.
Turn the Neighborhoods section on under Site edit, choose cards or a mosaic, and write a headline and introduction if you want them. Only published guides appear, in the order set in the portal. If you have not published any yet, leave the section off.
Brokerage admins, from the portal. Agents' own sites use the same published guides; they do not keep separate copies.
Neighbourhood pages are part of every RealViu site. Add the areas you work in, put your own photos and words on them, and set them live at their own address.
