A feeling, not a ranking
What a day
might sound like.
There is a particular pleasure in a neighborhood you can learn in layers. A morning walk where you recognize the same porch. A coffee shop where the order becomes automatic. A route home that changes with the season.
The useful questions are personal ones: How close do you want your everyday errands? What kind of house makes you want to take care of it? Where do you want the city to meet you?
The texture
Notice the sidewalks, setbacks, shade, and the way people use the block.
The question
Could your real life fit here—not just your saved-board life?
