Map the regular journeys
List work, school, shopping, and activities. Test the journeys at relevant times. Short distances on a map do not always mean short travel times.
Visit at different hours
A weekday morning and a weekend evening offer different information. Pay attention to noise, lighting, activity, and access.
Check the useful services
Verify schools, healthcare, transport, and local shops with the providers themselves. Services and eligibility rules change over time.
Leave room for change
Consider likely household changes and how flexible the area is for your needs. Balance present convenience with your expected plans.
