How to make a vicinity map with AI

A strong vicinity map can change how a buyer understands a listing. It gives them a sense of daily life around a property—where they’ll get coffee, which parks they can walk to, how far transit is, and what the neighborhood feels like beyond the home itself. For real estate agents, this context is often just as important as the property details.

The challenge is time. Creating a polished vicinity map manually—searching for amenities, placing each pin, formatting the map, exporting it for different platforms—can take hours per listing.

PamPam is an AI map maker that helps you make your own custom maps. You can make interactive maps, travel maps, and simple map animations in seconds, all designed to look beautiful and easy to share. For real estate agents, it’s one of the fastest ways to produce clean, professional-looking vicinity maps that strengthen your listings.

Here’s how to create real estate–ready vicinity maps in minutes.

Enter the property address — and the map builds itself

Most agents don’t have time to collect every nearby amenity by hand. With PamPam, you don’t have to. Simply type the address of your listing, and the AI does the work for you.

For example:

  • “1700 Passyunk Ave, Philadelphia”
  • “221 Union St, Brooklyn”
  • “3219 20th St, San Francisco”

PamPam automatically finds restaurants, cafés, parks, transit, grocery stores, and other nearby amenities. The map centers on your listing and instantly builds a neighborhood snapshot you can use with clients.

For agents juggling multiple properties, this alone saves hours every week.

Or instantly map amenities by category

Not every map needs the full neighborhood picture. Sometimes you want something more focused—only restaurants, only parks, or only transit.

You can simply type a prompt like:

  • “Restaurants in Red Hook”
  • “Coffee shops near Wicker Park”
  • “Parks in South Philly”
  • “Transit options near Union Square”

PamPam generates a complete map of that category in seconds. Agents often use this for listing presentations, printed packets, and community guides tailored to a client’s needs.

Customize the map to match your brand

Your vicinity maps should feel like part of your marketing—not an afterthought. PamPam lets you adjust colors, choose custom icons, add notes, and refine place details so everything aligns with your brand.

Most agents personalize:

  • The map color palette
  • Icon styles for categories
  • Short descriptions or notes about key places
  • Highlighted tags (e.g., “5-minute walk,” “Kid-friendly,” “Open late”)

The editing tools stay simple, so you never feel bogged down in design software.

Agents use vicinity maps in a lot of different formats, so PamPam supports multiple outputs.

Print-ready images:
Perfect for listing packets, brochures, open house handouts, or presentation folders.

Interactive embeds:
Add your vicinity map directly to your listing page, real estate website, or Link-in-Bio page. It’s responsive and mobile-friendly by default.

Map videos for social:
Generate a simple animated map for Instagram, TikTok, Reels, listing videos, or ads. Motion adds clarity—and stands out in feeds.

This lets you use the same map across your entire marketing flow.

Update maps as your listings evolve

Neighborhoods change, and so do listings. With PamPam, updating a vicinity map is as easy as opening it, adjusting the details, and saving. Every version you’ve shared automatically reflects the update.

Agents managing multiple listings can duplicate a map and reuse the structure, saving even more time.

Make a vicinity map for your next listing

Buyers care about more than the house—they care about the lifestyle around it. A clear, well-designed vicinity map helps them visualize how they’ll live in the neighborhood, and it makes your listings feel more complete and professional.

PamPam’s AI makes that process fast and approachable. Type an address or a simple prompt, and your map is ready.
