How rough is downtown, do the parks feel safe, are there good restaurants per your personal taste, how does the infrastructure feel (ease of navigation / quality of roads) and how many homeless are there.

What locations are you considering?

Agree with what EM1 said. And I would focus on what matters to you- for example, how is the public transportation? Are there enough outdoor spaces? Can you walk around and feel safe? Bike lanes? Where are the grocery stores and retail stores to meet your needs? How’s the traffic? How is the transportation to/from the airport?
