Pick Your Neighborhood!

Buying a home isn’t only about the home. Buying a home includes everything from the home, to the neighborhood, and the schools. So how do you pick a neighborhood that will fit your needs?

One main thing you need to consider is your commute. How close do you want to be to your job? Are you ok with a longer commute? Do you plan on switching jobs eventually, and do not want to base your home location on that? While considering your commute, consider your vehicle maintenance, gas prices, winter travels, and public transportation if that fits your decision.

School districts should be your next thing to consider. Whether you have kids or plan to have kids does not matter if you ever plan to resell your home. You can ask me or visit the city website for the school district the home is in. You want a school district with a high graduation rate, and there are a lot of good schools around the area.

How close do you want to be to the places you visit regularly? Think about the location of grocery stores, pharmacy, doctor’s offices, gym, and other places you go often. If the home isn’t near these things, decide what is most important to you so that you can make the right decision.

Do you like to be near things to do? Do you like to join in on local events and activities? Looking for a home near these things will make it easier to find fun things you want to do, without worrying about a long drive.

With all of the great neighborhoods in the area, you are sure to find one with everything you want. We at The Lobas Group are here to help you with your real estate needs!
