Find a Home First
Some homebuyers search for homes that meet their requirements for size, location, price point, amenities, then find out the school assignment and research the school.

Other parents may make a list of their most desired schools, then ask for the listings of homes currently assigned to those schools, and try to find listings that match their needs in the home.
Either method can work well, it's just a matter of preference!
