There are tons of them......almost universally the others are far less accurate, and contain a lot of out-dated, or useless information. The better ones feed from HAR.com anyway. HAR is your best bet for current and accurate information.

As RCH99 mentioned Har.com is one of the site to search for homes. One other site is realtor.com

Since you are searching for a specific school, keep in mind the results on any site, even HAR.com, are only as good as the data. If you find a potential home, double check that it is actually zoned to the correct school. I find schools are one of the most incomplete pieces of data that is entered by agents.

ZipRealty!!!!

I know I'm going to sound like someone who owns the site or something, but I have quite a hobby of looking at real estate and I love, love, love this site. Trying to use any others just frustrates me. Try it out and you'll see what I mean. It makes filtering sooo easy, displays everything in a great format, and you can save up to 100 "favorites" . So for example you can search using the map, city, zip code, proximity to a specific address (work?), or I believe even by school district. And then narrow it down to 3000+ sq. Foot, 5br homes with a 7,500 lot or bigger built after 1999 and less than $350,000 and with a pool. You can get soo specific I love it.

Then it will list school info, HOA dues, subdivision name, etc.

Many sites to choose from, but it will all depend on the overall layout, content and above all if it is user friendly.
