Question 1

Are the listings on Atlas & Nova verified?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every listing is either AI-verified through our own quality checks or claimed and confirmed by a real landlord. Unclaimed/seeded listings are clearly marked so you always know a listing's status before reaching out.

Question 2

Can I search for housing near a specific school?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Type any school's name into the School filter (not limited to a fixed list — any school Google Maps recognizes works) and listings within a walkable/commutable radius are shown, along with the radius drawn directly on the map.

Question 3

Can I filter by neighborhood?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Neighborhood filter works the same way as School — type any neighborhood, city, or area name and results are filtered to a radius around that point.

Question 4

What cities does Atlas & Nova cover?

Accepted Answer

Listings span Los Angeles, the greater Bay Area (San Francisco, Oakland, Palo Alto, San Jose, and more), and San Diego, with new cities added regularly as landlords and coliving operators join the platform.

Question 5

Is there a fee to browse or contact a landlord?

Accepted Answer

Browsing and contacting landlords through Atlas & Nova is free for renters.
