I have started including photographs of places of interest in the area of town where the listing is located.  I think it is very helpful, especially for out of town buyers who find it difficult to narrow down where they want to live in a town they are unfamiliar with.  This is a small 2/2 in a popular midtown neighborhood in Mobile.  If location, location, location is the key, and your listing has it, you should pique the buyer's interest by showcasing that in your slideshow.

I do use area photos in my listings when there are things of interest that would relate to the specific neighborhood, but I also use Google Earth to give the potential buyer an idea of where the home is in relation to the area around it.  Here is an example I put together.

You're right about that, and those keywords will bring people to your blog who are looking in that area, too.
