Congratulation!! you made a decision to purchase a home. Now the next big decision is where do you want to buy or live. Especially with the crazy Northern Virginia traffic if can be a challenging decision for a family or any individual.
So how do you find the neighborhoor or area you want to live in?
My answer is additional seris of questions for you: How much are you willing to commute? If you have kids how important are the schools or the neighborhood ammenities? What is your price range? What are must haves in your home? How long do you plan to stay in the home? How likely you will have relocate for your next assignment?
You will find more for your money by purchasing a home further away from the beltway but you have to scarifies the commute time. If metro is essential to your commute then lets stick around inside the beltway.
How do I know ensure this is the place I would love to live?
Once you narrow down certain neighborhoods/area andit meets the financial aspect of purchasing, I advise my clients to drive during the rush hour. Visit the neighborhood during different hours. Speak to the neighbors. Some of the condo and/or home owner association will let you attend their meetings.
Online there is lot of information.Check out the local crime and school information.
Don't hestiate to do all your research before you sign on the contract line!
