Yep, exactly. We just drive around, walking isn’t even really necessary. The goods and bads of a neighborhood are usually readily apparent. Before we explore, we check google maps to see what goods and services would become our go-tos. Depends on what’s important to you guys but we’d love to have some local bars/restaurants and a Trader Joe’s or Sprouts nearby. Nice wine shop nearby maybe (warning! You can’t buy booze in grocery/convenience stores here). Then we just cruise around. Bestneighborhood.org has some helpful maps showing different neighborhood parameters like income, politics, age, and desirability. We’ve been at it since December and I think we’ve narrowed it down to a handful of places we’d like to be. I also work with folks who live here and they’ve been very helpful in providing supplemental info. Feel free to DM me with questions about neighborhoods you’re looking at!
