not just the pin.

FOUR LOCATION LENSESUSE THEM TOGETHER
Your radius
Map groceries, food, exercise, healthcare and the places you visit weekly. A nearby amenity only helps if the route feels convenient to use.
Your immediate setting
Check road noise, service access, neighbouring windows, afternoon sun and nearby construction. Revisit at a different hour before deciding.
Your next buyer
Think about who else may value the location and how the unit compares with nearby alternatives. Ask what new supply or land-use change may affect the area.
Do the ordinary journey.
Travel from the apartment to your most common destination. Repeat it at the time you expect to use it.
