How to choose a neighbourhood for you

Instead of asking which neighbourhood is best, ask what you want an ordinary day there to feel like.

Sketch an ordinary day

Write down five regular journeys: work, school, shopping, a walk and meeting friends. Decide which you want to do on foot and which can involve transport. This becomes your personal framework for searching.

Visit at different times

Morning calm can become a busy evening street. Notice lighting, traffic, sounds and how comfortable you feel. Do not judge an entire area by one street: explore several blocks.

Separate the area from the home

Liking an area does not make every home in it suitable. Light, lift access, condition and layout need checking at every address. Keep two lists: requirements for the area and for the home.
