Test the neighborhood at three different times
- Weekday rush hour: test the route to work, school, or the airport.
- Evening: observe parking, lighting, noise, and the businesses you would use.
- Weekend: see park activity, events, restaurant demand, and neighborhood rhythm.
- At the property: investigate condition, nearby development, HOA, and special districts.
