# Plan schools and services around new homes

See planned subdivisions and apartments city by city, and get new ones by email each month, so your forecast counts them. Boardwalk turns public city and county planning records into a housing pipeline for school districts, planning consultants, and economic development teams. Pick your cities and county, set a monthly Alert for new residential filings, and export them to CSV for your forecast.

Data as of Oct 11, 2026. Page: https://boardwalkai.com/use-cases/plan-for-growth/

## How it works

1. **Map the homes planned.** Pick each city and county your area draws from, or draw its boundary, and filter to residential.
2. **Set a monthly Alert.** Boardwalk emails new residential filings in those places on the first Monday of each month.
3. **Export to CSV.** Download address, units, acres, and meeting date for your enrollment or growth model.

## Common questions

### Does it include single new homes?

Boardwalk shows single homes and lot splits only when you add Minor projects on the map. Its focus is subdivisions and apartments that need a rezoning, plat, or site plan.

### Can I total the homes planned?

Boardwalk can total units only where the filing states them, so a sum covers those filings alone. Use acres to estimate the rest.

### How current is it?

Boardwalk checks each place at least once a week, most of them every two to three days, and adds new projects as soon as they're processed.
