EVERY HOME IN THE NETHERLANDS. IN ONE PLACE. FOR FREE. Buurtje.nl brings together every home for sale and for rent in the Netherlands: 140,000+ listings from 4,500+ sources, from the big national platforms to the website of your local estate agent. One real-time overview, updated continuously. No paywalls, no hidden costs. Searching is simply free, always. HOUSING IS A RIGHT, NOT A BUSINESS MODEL The housing market is opaque enough as it is. Yet valuable information is often locked behind a paywall, and some sites even charge you just to view a home. We don't think that's fair. That's why everything on Buurtje.nl is free: the full range of listings, all neighbourhood reviews and all the data. So everyone gets a fair shot. DON'T JUST CHOOSE A HOME, CHOOSE A NEIGHBOURHOOD Other apps only show you the home. We show you the neighbourhood too. Read 10,000+ honest reviews from real residents about safety, atmosphere, amenities and more, with scores across eight categories and backed by reliable CBS data. Because a beautiful home in the wrong neighbourhood isn't a good deal. RESPOND FIRST WITH QUICKLANE™ On this market, every second counts. Set your preferences and get a free push notification the moment a matching home goes online. Tap the listing, choose Quicklane™ and our AI instantly writes a personal response letter. You set the tone and length; your mail app opens with everything filled in, ready to send. So you reach the agent before anyone else has even seen the home. EVERYTHING ON THE MAP Skip the endless scrolling. View the latest listings on the map and see at a glance what's for sale or for rent in your favourite areas, including schools and amenities nearby. BUY AND RENT, IN ONE APP Whether you're buying, renting or still deciding: you'll find it here. One app for your entire search. YOU CHOOSE THE SOURCE Is the same home listed on multiple platforms? Easily choose between the local estate agent or the big platforms, for example Funda or Pararius. WHY BUURTJE.NL? - 140,000+ homes for sale and rent from 4,500+ sources - 100% free searching, free push notifications, no paywalls - Neighbourhood reviews from real residents you won't find anywhere else, plus CBS data per area - Quicklane™: a personal response letter in seconds with AI - Buy and rent in one app - Smart searching on the map - Choose for yourself which source you respond through TOGETHER TOWARDS A FAIR HOUSING MARKET We'd rather not profit from the problems on the housing market, we'd rather solve them. Download Buurtje.nl and be the first to reach your next home. Questions or feedback? We'd love to hear from you. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Long Distance Love

Features
Read full description

Distalove turns the distance between you and your partner into one warm number — and puts it where you actually look: your home screen and your lock screen. TWO PHONES, ONE CODE Create a pair, send the six-character code, and you are connected. No account, no email, no password — you never sign up for anything. DISTANCE, NEVER A MAP Distalove shows how far apart you are and which way to look. Never an address. Never a pin on a map. That is deliberate: this is an app for feeling close, not for keeping tabs on someone. WIDGETS THAT LIVE ON YOUR SCREEN • Home screen widgets on your iPhone • Lock screen widgets on iPhone — one glance and you know • Choose what each widget shows: the distance, the days you have been together, or the countdown to your next meeting • A compass arrow pointing their way THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER • Days together, with milestones worth celebrating • A countdown to the next time you are in the same place • Their local time and weather, so you know whether it is a good moment to call • "Thinking of you" — one tap, and their phone lights up • Short notes and little drawings you make with your finger MADE FOR LONG DISTANCE Different cities, different countries, different time zones. Distalove was built for the days between visits — and it works just as nicely for couples who live together and simply like seeing each other on screen. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No ads. No third-party trackers. No analytics. Export everything or delete everything from Settings in two taps. Pause location sharing whenever you want, and your partner just sees "updated a while ago" — no drama, no notification.
