A recent MSN report summarized the most useful apps to use when doing your home search.
WIKIHOOD will tour the neighborhood, places and events near you.
SUBURB SCOUT allows you to find the possible problems in an area that might not be so appealing like landfills or toxic waste dumps.
SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD gives you access to the National Sex Offender Registry and can tell you locations of sex offenders in your area.
WALK SCORE allows you to determine the walk score (up to 100) for convenience of walking to shopping and other activities like restaurant dining and movies.
