Road/Endurance bike questions

Hi there, currently I am using a Khoodabloom rail for my daily bike (15 minutes to work, groceries etc.) but next year I will be moving to a place where I will need to cycle at least 40 minutes to work according to google. So I was thinking of getting a road/endurance bike. Currently eyeing on a Trek Domane. But here is my question,

  1. My current apartment has a spot to park bicycles but not a locked area, like a small spot beside my apartment
  2. Lets say I go grocery shopping, do i have to lock ot at a pole or i can just lock the frame and the tyre together? (Thinking about a U lock)
  3. Parking near the station even if the place has cameras is also a no no?
  4. Who else here dailys their road bike too? Curious to know

Cheers and keep warm during this cool weather!
