Map your routine
List the work, activities, gatherings and services that shape your week. Try the routes at the times you expect to use them.
Separate essentials from preferences
Create two priority lists. Revisit what is essential and what is flexible after your first few visits.
Compare areas and addresses
Use the five regional guides to plan your route. Then look closely at individual streets, access points and homes.
Learn from each visit
Record what appealed to you, what concerned you and what remains unanswered. Those reasons help refine your selection.
