Real estate intelligence,
quantified.

Starovice is a real estate intelligence platform that grades properties and neighborhoods across four dimensions: Flip, Lease, Hold, and Avoid.

Most real estate tools show you what a property is — square footage, bedrooms, last sale price. Starovice shows you what a property means as an investment. Is this neighborhood gaining momentum or losing it? Is transit access improving? Are employers moving in or out? What does the forward-looking signal say about where value is headed?

We aggregate data from authoritative public sources — the U.S. Census Bureau, Zillow Research, county property records, GTFS transit feeds, OpenStreetMap, and more — and layer in forward-looking economic signals extracted from news and permit filings. The result is a continuously updated intelligence layer that helps investors evaluate deals faster and with more context than any single data source provides alone.

Coverage

Starovice currently covers Allegheny County, Pennsylvania — including Pittsburgh's 90 neighborhoods, 130 municipalities, and 45 school districts. We're expanding to neighboring counties and eventually to every piece of trackable real estate on the planet.

How it works

Data Pipeline

Nightly automated ingestion from Census, Zillow, WPRDC, and OpenStreetMap. No manual curation — always fresh, always auditable.

Geographic Layers

Toggle between ZIP codes, municipalities, school districts, and individual neighborhoods. Each with its own demographics, market data, and walkability scores.

News Momentum

Economic events — developments, employer moves, infrastructure projects — extracted from news sources and quantified into a per-ZIP momentum score.

Starovice Engine

A grading algorithm that combines property fundamentals, location intelligence, and momentum into a single A–F grade with flip/lease/hold/avoid recommendations.
