Finding the right neighborhood

So, I am wondering once one finds the right city, how to find the right neighborhood? To make it more specific, let's say I choose Fort Collins, supposedly a city that is booming, where would I begin to look for a neighborhood, regardless whether it is single and multi-family homes. Thanks.

If you plan on visiting the city some places have neighborhood tours. If the city does not have neighborhood tours then take any tour. Talk to taxi drivers and police officers while there.
