Safety
Pay attention to the neighborhood and observe how is the routine there, for example: What kind of people live there? Big families with kids and pets, newlywed couples, senior couples, single people. People living there will give a great idea of how the routine might be if it’s a quiet place or livid.
Also, observe the traffic movement and signs. Are the streets well signed with visible traffic signs, crosswalks, and speed limits? All this information will help you to have an idea if it is a safe place to do your morning run or play with your kids in the playground with safety.
Neighborhood Daily Dynamic
By having all the essential stores nearby your home, it might affect your life quality once you can avoid travels to do your grocery, wasting time and money. Observe if there are some commercial options next to your potential home, such as a small grocery shop, drugstore, dollar store, some food options.

Another point to observe is public transportation options. Even though you commute to your work or children's schools in your car, it is important to have some options to move around the city. Observe the traffic as well. Is it easy to commute to your work or you might face hours wasted on the traffic jam? There is nothing more frustrating than waste time stuck in the traffic jam.
