When you first arrive.. where to live?

[EightFingers]

Use Bing "bird's eye" to view prospective properties. I found a lot of chicken farms and junk yards that were NOT visible from the street. Bing is pretty current in HPP.
I wonder about people when they say to watch out for "bad" neighbors or these people are "good" neighbors. Do you think it's going to be the same forever?
ETA:
I also research ALL the neighbors that surround anything I want to buy. I have a list of all the nearby TMKs and owners. I even Google their names to find out more about them.
