Tour at least two schools, including waitlists.
Test summer humidity and hurricane-season logistics.
Map your daily drives at the actual times you would drive them.
Confirm kosher access for your family's standards.
Understand HOA, taxes, and insurance, not just the asking price.
Visit on a Friday night and a Shabbat morning.
Talk to children about what they would miss back home.
Always consult licensed professionals before any commitment.
