Most people are happy to share their feelings, good or bad, about the place they call home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>If you\u2019re already in the area:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Think about things you\u2019ve taken for granted before that might matter to you in the future.\n<ul>\n<li>Is there a history of theft from cars parked at the local train station\u2019s lot? If your job changes and you have to start taking the train, this might now be a factor for you.<\/li>\n<li>Is there a local park that gets sketchy towards sundown? If you plan to have kids, and where they\u2019ll play might not always be safe, that\u2019s a new factor as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To access this kind of information, check sites like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neighborhoodscout.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">neighborhoodscout.com<\/a> to search crime rates by address.<\/p>\n<p><b>If you aren\u2019t able to visit in person:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read up on the local news in the area to get an idea of what\u2019s going on there.<\/li>\n<li>Sign up to receive the local police blotter, which is sent by email or posted online in many communities to give you a sense of the types and frequencies of crimes being committed in the area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re particularly concerned about child predators, sites like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.familywatchdog.us\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">familywatchdog.us<\/a> uses information from each state\u2019s sex offender registry to see if the neighborhood has any registered offenders living nearby.

Three-quarters say it\u2019s likely they\u2019ll live in a place where they don\u2019t need a car to get around.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re new to the area, taking a walking tour and making notes of nearby stores will help you get to know your new \u2018hood.<\/p>\n<p>You can also look right at a listing on Movoto to see nearby points of interests like grocery stores, public transit, banks, libraries, and restaurants\/cafes.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s just a few examples of almost 50 points of interest on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/san-francisco-ca\/821-folsom-st-317-san-francisco-ca-94107-12_40674799\/\">this listing<\/a> in San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screenshot-2017-11-09-15.08.57.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6644\" src=\"https:\/\/movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screenshot-2017-11-09-15.08.57.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"653\" height=\"847\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also try sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkscore.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Walkscore.com<\/a>, which rank cities and neighborhoods by walkability, bikeability, and access to public transit options to see how your new place stacks up.<\/p>\n<h2>4.
