A tour is your chance to see how a home really feels. Use this list to make the most of every visit, in person or virtual.

Natural light and views

Visit at the time of day you are usually home. Notice which way the windows face and how bright each room feels.

Storage and layout

Open closets and cabinets. Picture where your furniture will go and measure any spots you are unsure about.

Kitchen and bath details

Check counter space, appliance finishes and water pressure. Ask which features are included in every home.

Shared spaces

Walk the amenities you will use most, such as the fitness center, package room and parking.

Questions for the team

Ask about lease terms, utilities, pet policies and how maintenance requests work. Write down the answers so you can compare homes later.
