  1. Proximity to Public Transport: In larger cities, easy access to buses, subways, and public transportation is crucial, especially if targeting tenants without cars, such as university students.

  2. Proximity to Essential Amenities: Being close to supermarkets, stores, and medical facilities can make your property more appealing to tenants who prefer having these necessities nearby.

  3. Proximity to Daycare Centers and Schools: Being close to schools and daycare centers can be a significant advantage, especially for attracting families or couples planning to have children.

  4. Cultural Offerings: Consider the cultural scene of the neighborhood, as different tenant groups have varying interests. Tailor the location to the preferences of your target demographic, whether they be young professionals or families.

  5. Noise Level: Understand the tolerance for noise level among different age and societal groups. Choose a location that aligns with the preferences of your target tenants.

  6. Neighborhood Composition: Take note of who lives nearby—whether it's a mix of university students, families, or senior citizens. The demographic makeup of the neighborhood can provide insights into the type of tenants your property is likely to attract.

  7. Orientation and Location of the Property: Consider details such as the floor level and balcony orientation, as these may matter to different tenant groups. For example, seniors may prefer ground-level apartments with elevators.
