Tour-day food plan
Feel Richardson between the showings.
Coffee and first drive
Start with Eiland, La Casita, Chocolate Angel, Feng Cha, or a Chinatown bakery stop. Then drive the first neighborhood at the time you would actually live there.
Pick a corridor
Use Jeng Chi, Afrah, Ten50, Mumtaz, Pho Tay Do, or Lockwood to test whether your short-listed areas feel convenient or stretched.
Try the weeknight version
Touring pretty houses is easy. The question is whether dinner, errands, parking, and the drive home feel like a week you would repeat.
