BEFORE YOU CHOOSE AN AREA

Look a little closer.

01

Walk your everyday route.

Try the journey to the shops, the shore and the places you would use regularly. Slopes and crossings can matter more than a distance on a map.

02

Come back at another time.

A street can feel different in the morning, in the evening and outside the busiest holiday months. Leave room to see that change.

03

Get to know the exact location.

A neighbourhood name is a starting point. Explore the actual street and surroundings before deciding whether it suits your plans.
