Apartment rents near the universities, every month
Apartment rents around each university, the best value first, every month.
What it does
Every month: apartments for rent within 1 km of the universities in Boston, with the rent, size and rent per m2, the lowest rent per m2 first, and a short note by xMap AI on where students and young staff get the most for their money, emailed and on a map.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Boston, find universities in the area, find the apartment listings for rent within 1 km of each place (United States), sort them by price_per_sqm and keep the top 40, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you and show them on a map.
Why it is useful
Students and young staff rent close to campus. Seeing the rents per m2 around each university shows where a buy-to-let or a student building earns the most.

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 90 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks.
