Try a neighborhood before you move
A beautiful street on a Saturday afternoon can feel very different on a Monday morning. Give an ordinary day there a trial run.

Try your real commute
Enter the building’s address and your destination in a trip planner, then choose an ordinary weekday and departure time. Walk at least the first stretch. A stop around the corner feels different from one across two busy intersections.
Come back at a different time
If the showing was during the day, return for an early evening walk. Listen to the street outside the building and try the walk back from the stop after dark.
Find three places you’d actually use
Try your grocery run on the way home, a dog-walking route or a quieter path to school. Pick places that are part of your week and explore two routes to get there.
