Website for Neighborhood Ratings

I want to learn the neighborhood class rating of a potential investment property. I’m looking for a website where I can enter an address or zip code and it’ll give me a rating. Does anyone know of such a website?

    Thanks Chris.  I was hoping I'd be able to find a reliable free option to try.  I have tried:

    1. https://www.roofstock.com/get-neighborhood-rating
      >> Outputs rating in "1-5 stars", but doesn't always have property in the records.
    2. https://www.areavibes.com
      >> seems ok, but it will output up and coming areas higher than a well-developed area, so it's of questionable use.

    Any free ideas?

    Hey, Harry!

    I haven't had any luck searching for a tool that gives specific information on the class of a neighborhood. However, you can get a fair amount of info that'd help you determine what class it's in by looking for a Neighborhood Scout report.

    There's a decent amount of 1-5 star ratings that could help you get a better idea if it's a neighborhood you want to invest in. 

    Hope this helps, and good luck finding the right neighborhood!
