Pins are coloured by Rent Deal Score — green good, amber fair, red overpriced, grey unscored. Crowded areas collapse into a neutral blue bubble showing how many are there; zoom in to split it. One pin per address, so a building with several units listed shows them all in one popup. Tick Only this area to narrow the list to what is on screen as you pan.

2 bed · 2.5 ba · 1,228 sqft · Oakland 94607
