Try finding the local newspaper(s)'s web site and see if it includes
classified ads. Try an apartment locating service to see if they can
put you onto a duplex.

Once you have a location that seems interesting, this site will tell
all sorts of information including crime statistics:

   Yahoo! Real Estate

If broadband internet connectivity is important, www.dslreports.com
can tell whether DSL is an option.

Hopefully you're not planning to ship your four-legged kids by air:
