Map boundary layers are a great way to view school district and other boundaries, but it wasn’t easy to use them in your search. Thanks to your feedback, a new Map Search feature is available that will help you easily select specific shapes from the Boundaries layers without having to manually draw them using the Polygon tool. 

With our new Select Layer as Shape map tool, you can select a shape that appears in the Boundaries layer (such as schools or neighborhoods) and automatically apply that shape filter towards your map search results.

Here’s how you can use this feature in your next Map Search.

  • Zoom in on an area of interest to view properties on the map.  
  • Use the Layers map tool and select the desired layer under the heading Boundaries (such as Unified School Districts, Neighborhood, High Schools, etc.).
  • Click the Select Layer as Shape map tool, and then select the boundary layer shape on the map you want automatically applied to your search criteria.
  • You can also select more than one boundary layer shape on the map by clicking the Select Layer as Shape tool again and selecting the additional shape on the map.
  • Select the Results tab at the top of the map to review the listings from your Map Search criteria and in an Agent One-Line display.
