Finding the right neighborhood that fits your lifestyle is important if you want to be happy with your home purchase. Here are 11 questions to ask yourself to pick the perfect neighborhood.<\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n

When you\u2019re ready to buy a new home<\/a>, whether you’re a first-time homebuyer<\/a> or a retiree<\/a> looking to downsize\u2014keep in mind that you\u2019re not just purchasing four walls and a roof, you\u2019re also buying into the local community. The neighborhood matters. The more work you put into finding the right neighborhood, the happier you\u2019ll be with the final results. If you get stuck in a neighborhood that\u2019s not for you, there\u2019s not much you can do about it short of moving again.<\/span>
\nAim to find a neighborhood you can see yourself living in for longer than you plan on owning your new house. If you think certain aspects of a neighborhood are a bit off initially, they\u2019re probably not going to get better. Like any other step of the home buying process<\/a>, doing your own research is key. Consider these important questions when you\u2019re trying to pick the right place to live.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Do you fit in?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Knowing the culture of a neighborhood is one of the most important factors when it comes to deciding if the area is the right choice. If you\u2019re young and hoping to mingle with the local community, moving into a community full of retirees and empty nesters might not fit your needs.<\/span>
\nOn the other hand, if you\u2019re a family with young children, it might not want to move next door to a fraternity house that throws huge parties every weekend. Be aware of the community experience you\u2019re looking for\u2014whether it’s diverse<\/a>, LGBTQ+<\/a> friendly, or conservative\u2014and try to find a neighborhood that best facilitates it.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Do you feel safe?<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Find<\/span>
\nFeeling safe<\/a> in your home and neighborhood is probably one of your top priorities. Visit the neighborhood at different times of day. If possible, try to spend the night in the area. Quiet areas by day can quickly transform into rowdy places at rush hour and night. If possible, ask neighbors and locals about the neighborhood\u2019s safety record.<\/span>
\nDo your research and read up on local news, browse the crime blotter, check the sex offender registry and local crime stats, and see what neighborhood ranking websites have to say. Just be aware that many of these statistics can make things appear worse than they are, so don\u2019t stress yourself out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. How is the location, really?<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you fall in love with a house, it\u2019s easy to rationalize an inconvenient location by telling yourself it\u2019s \u201conly a short drive\u201d from everything you need. But you should be thorough and test the neighborhood out for yourself. See how long it takes to commute<\/a> to work, the gym, and your other favorite amenities.\u00a0<\/span>
\nOn the flipside, the perfect neighborhood might seem like one that\u2019s close to everything you want, but you might find that an easy commute is worth having a nicer house. Spend as much time in the neighborhood as you can and make sure it\u2019s the right fit. The last thing you want to do is purchase a new home only to realize that you\u2019re spending twice as long as you thought you would in your car every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. What role does family play in your life?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Parents need to account for many more factors when choosing a neighborhood. If you already have kids or plan to have kids in the future, you have to pay closer attention to things like the school district<\/a>, crime rates<\/a>, and local parks.\u00a0<\/span>
\nIf buying your first home coincides with plans for starting a family, be prepared for how competitive the market gets in the top school districts. Schools have such a big impact on values that homes near top-scoring schools can cost dramatically more than homes just minutes away in an underperforming district.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Is the neighborhood a good investment?<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re in the market for a home, you want to buy something that will appreciate over time. Your greatest tool here is a knowledgeable real estate agent<\/a>. They will know the local real estate market and can tell you if the neighborhood is on the rise.\u00a0<\/span>
\nSome ways to tell if a neighborhood is growing is to check out its walkability, see if new businesses and developments are popping up in the area, and the public transit options. Places where you don\u2019t need a car to live and work are increasingly growing in popularity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Are you aware of the community rules?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some neighborhoods are governed by a homeowner\u2019s association (HOA) or, more informally, a neighborhood association that controls certain aspects of life in the community. While some associations mostly handle landscaping, snow removal, and other maintenance, others are more involved and have strict rules. For example, there might be a rule forbidding parking motorcycles in your driveway or restricting what color you can paint your home and designating quiet hours.<\/span>
\nIt\u2019s critical to check with your agent about local rules and regulations and carefully review community rules before you commit to a home to make sure they fit your lifestyle.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Is there anything around that might become a nuisance?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Certain unexpected things like smells and sounds often go unnoticed or ignored during initial walkthroughs, only to be discovered during the first week you spend in your new home. To avoid getting stuck in a situation where loud noises wake you up every night or your home is permeated with cooking odors all day, keep an eye out for things like train tracks, restaurants, concert venues, and factories when you visit.\u00a0<\/span>
\nMake note of other nuisances as well, like unkempt properties and home businesses that mean frequent visitors. Even if these things don\u2019t bother you, keep in mind that they can affect your property value.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. How much will your taxes and other expenses be?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some areas tend to have significantly higher property taxes<\/a> than others. Make sure you can afford the taxes before making your purchase, especially if you\u2019re anticipating your home\u2019s value<\/a> increasing.<\/span>
\nYou should also make sure that you factor in HOA fees and be aware that they are periodically recalculated and usually increase over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9. How are the amenities?<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Find<\/span>
\nThe right neighborhood can make your life a lot more convenient if it\u2019s got the right amenities. Do you need a public park or dog park nearby? Do you want a cafe to work in or a good restaurant for a quick lunch? If you\u2019re already making frequent trips to places like the gym, a pool, or the dry cleaners, a neighborhood with these amenities close by can save you time and money. It\u2019s also important to account for public transportation and what public services, like trash collection, are offered.<\/span>
\nAlso take into account what cable and internet providers serve certain areas, especially if having a specialized service like fiber is important to you. These little \u201cextras\u201d are often the deciding factors in choosing one neighborhood over another.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Will it be welcoming for guests?<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you enjoy hosting friends and family, consider your neighborhood from the standpoint of visiting guests. Think about things like guest parking, ease of access, and community safety. While your car might be safely parked in the garage, you should consider what the road parking is like in the area. If someone comes into town for a visit, are they likely to get a parking ticket or fall victim to theft?<\/span><\/p>\n

11. What is your gut telling you?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to listen to your gut. Even with all your due diligence and advice from your real estate agent<\/a>, if your gut is telling you there\u2019s something off\u2014listen. A good real estate agent will completely understand if you\u2019re just getting a bad vibe and won\u2019t push it.\u00a0<\/span>
\nIf you want more personal feedback about the area, consult additional resources to get a fuller picture. Try to find out what localized blogs have to say about the neighborhood or visit local businesses like coffee shops and ask the baristas how they like it. This can be a good way to get additional information you can\u2019t find elsewhere and it will also give you a better idea of how you\u2019ll fit it into the local community.<\/span>
\nBy fully educating yourself on what you\u2019re buying into, you\u2019re less likely to set yourself up for disappointment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
