(NYSE: KIND), the essential neighborhood network, today released the new Nextdoor, the most consequential redesign of its core product to date.

Alerts, News, and Faves make Nextdoor more useful, helpful, and timely on a daily basis.

Since its founding in 2011, Nextdoor has helped more than 100 million neighbors stay connected to what matters most in their local communities. With the shift towards remote and hybrid work, people are spending more time in their neighborhoods where local connections – whether with neighbors, services, or businesses – play an increasingly important role in daily life.

“This is a refounding moment for Nextdoor,” said Nirav Tolia, CEO and Co-Founder of Nextdoor. “Neighborhoods matter more than ever, and today we recommit ourselves to building the best product to enable neighbors to come together and build stronger, safer, and more connected local communities.”

It’s a new day for Nextdoor, marked by a refreshed brand identity that is grounded in clarity, utility, and putting neighbors first. At the heart is the return of the iconic stylized home logo, which reflects Nextdoor’s core mission: to make every neighborhood feel like home.

Alerts, News, and Faves make Nextdoor more useful, helpful, and timely on a daily basis:

Alerts: Real-time alerts to stay safe and prepared. Neighbors have long turned to Nextdoor in moments of crisis. With Alerts, the product goes further to deliver real-time updates on everything from daily weather and traffic to critical moments like power outages, severe storms, and wildfires. Alert notifications appear on a dynamic neighborhood map to support timely conversations between neighbors and public agency partners, like fire departments. Powered by trusted sources such as Samdesk and The Weather Company, which includes The Weather Channel app and Weather.com website, Alerts reinforce Nextdoor’s role as a reliable and vital lifeline during critical events.

News: Keep informed with local news from trusted sources. Local news has long had a place on Nextdoor, with neighbors regularly sharing and discussing the day’s events. Now, relevant stories from local vetted publishers appear regularly and directly in the feed, tailored to a neighbor’s location. Whether it’s a new proposed bike lane, a local restaurant opening, or the high school team’s recent win, News makes it easier for neighbors to join the conversation. Nextdoor is launching with over 3,500 local publications across the U.S., UK, and Canada - including respected outlets like the San Francisco Standard, The London Standard, and The Toronto Star. News is available in 77% of the U.S. cities represented on Nextdoor, collectively delivering over 50,000 locally relevant stories each week. Trusted outlets are now reaching neighbors directly through the platform, bringing community-focused journalism to neighborhoods everywhere.

Faves: Discover local favorites, recommended by your neighbors. Recommendations, which include requests for advice and offers of local services, have always been core to Nextdoor, driving 30% of all neighbor posts and fueling real-world decisions. Faves brings that experience to the next level, using AI technology to distill insights from 14 years of neighborhood conversations about beloved local gems. With Faves, neighbors can ask a question like, “What is the best place to hike with kids?” and receive a quick, summarized response—just like asking a knowledgeable local. Faves now makes it easier for neighbors to discover and share the best of their community—like local services, local businesses, and places to explore. Faves is launching first in select U.S. markets.

The new Nextdoor will also offer additional opportunities for advertisers to connect with highly engaged local communities. Brands can access real, verified neighbors, combining national reach with local relevance. With this launch, Nextdoor continues to grow its advertising relationships across businesses of all sizes in the U.S. and the UK, while also expanding into Canada.

ClassPass is Nextdoor’s exclusive advertising partner supporting the launch, advertising on Nextdoor and offering free class credits to Nextdoor neighbors for local classes and appointments. ClassPass CEO, Fritz Lanman shared, "Our collaboration with the new Nextdoor platform is a natural fit, and we're proud to be a launch partner. Nextdoor's ability to connect people with local businesses in their neighborhoods aligns seamlessly with our mission to power meaningful, real-world experiences. We’re excited to drive more action and engagement in the communities Nextdoor serves.”

The INN Network, a partner of Nextdoor, encompasses more than 500 news outlets in virtually every U.S. state and the District of Columbia. Sam Cholke, Manager of Distribution and Audience Growth for the Institute for Nonprofit News (INN), shared, “Bringing local news to Nextdoor is an important step in helping communities find the information they need to thrive. Deeply reported, truly local news needs to be a part of spaces where neighbors talk about solving their shared problems, and we’re excited that Nextdoor is working closely with nonprofit news organizations who hold service to local communities at the heart of their mission.”

“The new Nextdoor delivers on the original vision of the platform; it’s more local, useful, and timely with a streamlined look and feel to help neighbors stay informed about what’s happening nearby,” said Nextdoor Neighbor and Neighborhood Lead, Rosemarie R. of San Diego. “I see Nextdoor as my one-stop, local information hub, providing a turnkey solution for neighbors; a trusted source for the community, with smarter notifications, and neighbors working together, to solve real-world problems.”

The new Nextdoor is available today on the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store and at nextdoor.com. Nextdoor neighbors are encouraged to update their apps to ensure they are using the latest version. For media assets visit https://about.nextdoor.com/us-media/ or contact press@nextdoor.com.
