A modern student accommodation booking platform designed to help students find, book, and manage housing near their campuses.
Project Overview
ResDorm addresses the common challenge students face when finding reliable accommodation near their educational institutions. The platform connects students with verified property owners, streamlining the entire housing search process.
Key Features
• Advanced Property Search: Filter by university proximity, price range, and amenities
• Virtual Tours: 360° property views and video walkthroughs
• Real-time Booking System: Instant availability checking and reservation
• Tenant Verification: Student status verification and background checks
• Owner Dashboard: Comprehensive tools for property management
• Integrated Messaging: Secure communication between students and owners
• Review System: Verified reviews from previous tenants
Technical Implementation
The platform utilizes Django's ORM for efficient database operations, implements Celery for background tasks (notifications, reminders), and uses Redis for caching frequently accessed data. The responsive frontend is built with Bootstrap and custom JavaScript for enhanced user experience.
Results
ResDorm reduced average housing search time from 3 weeks to 4 days for students. Property owners reported a 40% increase in occupancy rates and reduced administrative overhead. The platform currently lists over 500 properties across 15 educational institutions.
