Neighborhood and Community are Critical: A recent survey by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate and Meredith Corporation Reveals that: One in 5 Homeowners Have Moved or Would Like to, Because Their Community Doesn’t Fit Their Lifestyle.

These findings add credence to my own findings that lifestyle decisions are critical components of the home buying process. Quoting from the survey:

"Among the top priorities of respondents when searching for their next home were: Access to Health and Safety Services, 34%, Availability of Retail Stores, 32%, Access to Cultural Activities, 21%, Nightlife and Restaurant Access 18%, and Access to Golf Courses, 6%."

“While the relation of price to features has become very favorable in many areas throughout the country, ultimately the surrounding community may determine how happy you are with your home purchase,” said Sherry Chris, president and CEO of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. Survey respondents noted they would place more weight on lifestyle criteria in future home searches, favoring family-friendly neighborhoods and easy accessibility to cultural activities such as museums and music venues."

"Ultimately the surrounding community may determine how happy you are with your home purchase".
