Curbed.com

Curbed is a blog that explores New York City real estate, with news, listings, neighborhood gossip, and discussions about renting or owning property in one of the world's most competitive markets. Curbed also maintains regional sites for Los Angeles and San Francisco, as well as the sister blogs Eater and Racked, which focus on dining and shopping, respectively.Official Site: About Curbed

Compared to traditional real estate publications, Curbed's approach to its subject sometimes has the flavor of a tabloid or gossip blog. An example of this is Curbed's coverage of the Bernard Madoff scandal, which included an interactive map of properties owned by victims of Madoff's Ponzi scheme.Curbed: Map: Madoff's Victims Live the Uptown Life (February 6, 2009)

Curbed.com's publisher Curbed Network also maintains the sister sites Eater.com and Racked.com, each of which has an L.A. and San Francisco affiliate. Racked and Eater cover dining and shopping, respectively, from a similar perspective to Curbed's coverage of real estate—ground-level and often irreverent.Official Site: About Curbed
