I’m currently house hacking in arguably the nicest part of the city (CWE) but a lot of other areas of the city are nice too depending on what you mean. the inner ring suburbs of the county are usually considered nicer but tend to be higher priced but they will also have small commercial multi families.

I use ring central. 

Go up to the house, and ring the doorbell.

That would get your phone ringing.
