Moving to a new neighborhood, what to look for?

Question

Hey BP Fam,

I am currently about to start a series of neighborhood walk through videos in my area to help people moving to the area understand the different neighborhoods as well as their Pros/Cons.

I know personally what I look for but wanted to get a feel for what is most important to you when researching a potential neighborhood to move to.

be as detailed as you want or just list your top priorities, any and all info is going to help me construct the categories I should focus on when making these videos.

Thanks in advance for all your help and support 😊

Upkeep of the homes on the street, and one block each way on the street.

How burred inside a byzantinian tract of roads is it from the main road.

Is there freeway or jet or railroad noise.

Do the driveways have good cement in the area, or is it all fractured.

Does the neighborhood look like a forest or can you see the houses from the road clearly.

A lot of cars parked in the street, or hardly any.

Is it close to a Taco Cabana, Auto Zone, etc...

Abundance of birds--pro's pretty to look at, con's messy car.

Talk to some people who are outside, ask them is this a nice place, any problems here.

Do these people seem like they would be good neighbors?

Depends on the type of person. Single, young family, older family, professional, retired.

Trails, schools, shopping, recreation, apartment, suburbia, country, road access.
