How will you get around?
Test the commute at the time of day you will actually make it. Check how far the nearest metro or tram stop really is.
What does daily life need?
List the schools, clinics, shops and green space you use every week, and see which communities have them within a short walk or drive.
New building or established?
Newer buildings offer modern layouts. Established communities offer settled neighbourhoods and a clearer record of service charges.
