Choosing the Right Neighborhood

September 6, 2019

There are many important factors that come into play when trying to find a home that is right for you and your family. Is the home big enough, does the yard have enough space for kids to play and are there enough bathrooms? These are all things we think about when searching for a home. One of the most important factors, and sometimes overlooked, is finding the neighborhood that works for you. Here are a few things that you should consider when you look for a great neighborhood:

Research Schools

Education is one of the most important things in life. Make sure you look for homes that are in a school district that has great schools so that your kids can receive a solid education.

Future Value

More than likely, you aren’t going to be in your home forever. Your agent can tell you about the property value and growth of the homes you are looking at.

Commute Time

You may have found the perfect home, but if you have a long way to commute each day you won’t even be able to spend time in your lovely new home. Consider your commute time when searching for a neighborhood so you can spend less time on the road and more time at home with your family.

Lifestyle

Are you an avid runner or biker? Do your kids love to play at the park or swim at the pool? Keep your lifestyle in mind so the community you choose to live in has the amenities that fit your lifestyle.

Budget/Affordability

A few miles can be enough to cause the price of homes to vary significantly. Though you want to find a home in a great neighborhood, you will also want to keep your budget in mind.
