What to Look for in a Neighborhood Before Buying Your Dream Home

Hello Home Buyers!

In this video, I talk about some general things to look for in a neighborhood before buying your dream home!

When searching for the perfect home you’re not only shopping for a property but a lifestyle. There are so many factors to consider when choosing a neighborhood: school district, walkability, and how the area will serve your daily routines.

Even if you don’t have children and don’t plan on having them it's a good idea to check out school ratings because they affect property values. I recommend checking out californiaschooldashboard.com to see how your district ranks.

For some buyers walkability is key so they need to narrow their search to more commercial areas, with plenty of restaurants and shops to choose from. It’s important to consider daily routines and habits when determining the best neighborhood for your family.

If you love leading an active lifestyle you may want to search for a home in close proximity to parks, trails, and tennis courts. It’s also a good idea to see what your city offers in terms of recreational classes such as swim, tennis, and dance lessons.

I hope this helps you focus in on the right neighborhoods, and if you need any guidance on finding the right community for your lifestyle message me!
