Curbed

Curbed is an American real estate and urban design website founded as a blog by Lockhart Steele in 2006.[1][2][3] The full website, founded in 2010, featured sub-pages dedicated to specific real estate markets and metropolitan areas across the United States. Steele once described Curbed.com as "Architectural Digest after a three-martini lunch.” The site hosted an annual contest, the Curbed Cup, to pick the best neighborhood in each city.[4]

In November 2019, Vox Media purchased the Curbed Network, which, apart from Curbed, also included dining website Eater and fashion website Racked.[5] The paper reported that the cash-and-stock deal was worth between $20 million and $30 million.[5] As of 2020, as a part of a downward trend of layoffs and restructuring of many venture capital-funded sites, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of Curbed's area-specific sites closed, leaving New York City as the sole remaining metropolitan focus. In October 2020, Curbed was integrated into the magazine New York.[6]

Former sub-pages specific to metropolitan areas and real estate markets included:
