Implementation note
The proposed URLs intentionally follow the site’s existing root-level article convention. Before publishing, each page should be checked against the live sitemap again because the site’s property and blog inventory changes frequently. Avoid creating location-plus-property-type permutations: those entities are already extensively represented by the existing area, type, status, feature, and property URLs.
