When looking for a new home, in a new neighborhood and you're undecided if you'd like to live there, check out one of the local grocery stores, to see if they're clean, etc. We have a pal who sells homes, this is what he does if a couple is indecisive. He said most of the time, it works.

Also go to the neighborhoods at different times of the day - sometimes neighborhoods look fine during the day & take on a whole different character at NIGHT.
To find out if a neighborhood is someplace that you would like to live in see how far the schools, stores, public transportation, libraries, churches, hospitals are from your home. Try to make everything convienient especially if you are a senior.
