As you house hunt, you will probably look at several homes you might like to live in that are in your price range. Often, in that case, other community elements can help you decide which house is best. For example, compare:
 Neighborhoods
How clean are the streets? How's the property upkeep in general? Are there streetlights? Sidewalks? What's the noise level? Is there industry nearby or train or airplane traffic? Do you notice any unpleasant odors from some unseen source?
Conveniences
Is public transportation within walking distance? Are thoroughfares or expressways accessible? Are there opportunities to attend sports events, cultural affairs, adult education? Are there parks, trails, places to swim, boat, skate, and play golf or tennis nearby?
Distances
How far to work from each house? How far to shopping, schools, hospital, places of worship, and entertainment. How far to a fire station? How far from friends and relatives?
