Okay, so I wanted to find out everything I could about this “Nelson Ave, Saratoga Springs, NY” address. Here’s how I went about it, step-by-step.

My Little Investigation
First, I typed the address straight into my search bar. Just plain and simple, “Nelson Ave, Saratoga Springs, NY”. I wanted to see what would pop up organically.
The usual suspects appeared. Property websites… you know, the ones with house listings. I ignored those for now. I was more interested in getting a feel for the area itself.
Next, I scrolled through the image results. Lots of pretty houses, some trees… nothing too shocking. It definitely looked like a residential area.
Then things from google map came,I clicked a couple of street-view options.
And BOOM, I was visually walking along Nelson Ave, getting a glimpse of the buildings, the sidewalks, and the general * is residential area that is quiet.

So, that’s basically my process. Start broad, then use different tools to get more specific views and details.
I feel like I got a pretty good sense of Nelson Ave without actually, you know, going there!
