The city changes character after the offices empty. Walkability, sound, lighting and late-night transport reveal a side of a neighbourhood that an afternoon viewing cannot.
Read the pavement
Notice where people linger, which crossings feel natural and whether the street remains active without becoming exhausting. Night gives a more honest account of distance and comfort.
Listen to the address
Traffic, loading bays, restaurants and rail lines have different rhythms across the week. A short evening walk can tell you more about a home than a long list of amenities.
