Pynwheel Map: two inputs, five days, one seriously good-looking property map
Pynwheel Map is the interactive property map for apartment websites. It puts a clickable 2D or 3D map of your community right where prospects shop. Prospects filter available units, compare floor plans, check their real monthly cost, schedule a tour and apply — all from the map. It even shows up on your Apartments.com listing. It's $29 a month, and your team's entire to-do list is: submit your PMS credentials and site plan.

What is an interactive property map?
An interactive property map (also called an interactive site map or apartment map) is a clickable map of a multifamily community embedded on its website. Instead of a static site plan, prospects see every building, floor and available unit, and can click any home for pricing, floor plans, photos and next steps.
Pynwheel Map pulls availability and pricing straight from your property management system, so the map stays current without anyone updating it by hand.
With Pynwheel Map, prospects can:
- Filter and explore available units by floor, bedrooms, price and move-in date
- View floor plans, virtual tours, photos and videos
- See their true monthly cost with the built-in rent calculator
- Schedule a tour and start an application
- Save and share favorites with roommates, family and friends
With zero lift from your team, the map moves people from apartment shopping to apartment choosing.
