If you’re looking to find out who lives at a certain address, you’ve come to the right place! Whether you’re trying to reconnect with an old friend or simply curious about the people in your neighborhood, here are a few methods to try.

1. Search online property records

If the person you’re looking for owns the property, you can easily locate their full name through property records and tax assessment information. Once you get their name, you can try searching for them on social media platforms to learn more about them.

Many counties and cities have online databases that allow you to search for property ownership information. To see if your county has a website for the search, you can visit the Public Records Online Directory and select the state the person lives in.

For example, we will demonstrate how to look up an address in Reading Township for this tutorial. The first step is to go to the Public Records Online Directory and select Massachusetts and Reading Township. Then click on the link to visit the Reading Township Assessor website.

Enter the property address and click Go to start the search. You can view details about the property in just a few seconds.

Each field is a hyperlink that provides additional information. You can click on the link to view details about the property and the owner.

2. Use a reverse address lookup service

If you’re trying to learn more information about a tenant at an address, our first method won’t be able to provide you with this information. In this case, you’d want to try a reverse lookup tool.

There are several websites that offer reverse address lookups, which allow you to enter an address and get information about the people who live there. Some services are free and some are not. We’ve spent time testing a dozen of these tools – both free and paid ones, and below are our top picks.

True People Search

True People Search is a free people search tool to uncover valuable insights on people.

You can run a reverse address lookup on the True People Search Address Lookup page. Enter the address you’d like to look up and click the search button. This will unlock details about the property, such as its estimated value, size, last sale amount, and more. If you’re more interested in who lives there, scroll down, and you’ll be able to view a list of residents at the address being searched.

Click View Details, and you can view the person’s full name, alias, age, phone number, email address, possible relatives, and more.

Social Catfish

While the free tool can provide you with basic insights about an address, if you’d like to dig up more comprehensive details, we’d recommend a paid tool such as Social Catfish.

Social Catfish is a dedicated people search tool that provides information about people. You can look up an address and view a background report on the property owner and possible residents. The report may include their contact information, criminal history, friends and relatives, social media profiles, and more. Below is a Social Catfish sample report:

Apart from getting to know the owner and residents of that property, you can also view public records associated with that property – like the county assessor records attached below:

PeopleFinders

PeopleFinders is another decent people search tool we’d recommend. Founded in 1999, it offers comprehensive public records searches, background checks, and reverse address lookups.

You can use PeopleFinders’ reverse address lookup to dig up information associated with an address, including the resident’s contact details, criminal history, and other personal information.
