Welcome to Close Enough
A new way to explore Victorian neighbourhoods
After months of development and testing, Close Enough is officially live. This project started as a personal tool to help with my own property search, and has grown into something I hope will be genuinely useful for others navigating the Victorian real estate market.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped test the site during development. Your feedback shaped so many of the features you see today, from the map visualisations to the scoring system. I could not have done it without you.
Close Enough brings together data from over a dozen sources to give you a comprehensive picture of any address in Victoria. Rather than just listing nearby amenities, we calculate scores that reflect how well a location matches different lifestyle priorities. Whether you care most about public transport, green spaces, schools, or safety, you can see at a glance how an address stacks up.
This is just the beginning. I have plenty of ideas for new features and improvements, and I would love to hear what you think would make the site more useful for your search.
