This will allow you to test run your commute and find out for yourself how long it takes to and from work.
Ask The Neighbors
Go on the weekend or after work hours to talk to the neighbors if possible. If there’s anyone who would knows more about the area, it would be the neighbors. They would know what amenities are nearby, which neighbors are nuisance and what to expect living in that area.
Drive By At Night

Check Out The Crime Statistic
You probably would want to move to a low crime rate area. The best resource for this is your local law enforcement. California has Megan’s Law website where you can find out if there is a sex offender living near you. Do not skip on this part for your safety should be a priority.
Check Out The School District
If you have kids or if you are planning on starting a family, you might want to check out the school district to see if you like the schools.
