When you are looking for a new neighbourhood to move into, there are a lot of factors to consider. You can renovate and make changes to a home, but one thing you'll never be able to change is the location!
Here are some things to think about before choosing a neighbourhood:
1. Neighborhood safety: Check criminal reports, look at crime rates, converse with the neighbours, visit the neighbourhood at night, and ensure the streets are well-lit. Would you feel safe walking around the neighbourhood alone?
2. School district: If you have kids or plan on having kids in the future, living in a reputable school district is critical to giving your children a good education. Even homebuyers who don't have kids can benefit from living in a good school district, as it can help increase your home's value over time.
3. Amenities: Is it necessary to you to have neighbourhood amenities like a community pool, tennis courts, parks, walking trails, or a gym?
4. Location: Would you like to be close to grocery stores, pharmacies, department stores, and restaurants? Do you work in an office, and if so, would you like to live nearby?
5. Emergency services: Do you have health conditions requiring you to be near a hospital or doctor's office?
6. Lifestyle and preferences: Does the neighbourhood fit your lifestyle and needs? Could you see yourself making friends with the neighbours and getting involved in the community?
