Talk to a neighbor or two to find out about the area and see if you want to live next door to these folks! You can tell a lot from their reaction to your questions...
What to ask:
- How do you like living here?
- What are the other neighbors like?
- What's the home owner's association like? And are neighbors actively involved with it?
- What community issues do you see?
- Are there any neighborhood rules? Like parking or yard maintenance?
- Have you had any trouble with crime?
- Have you ever been burglarized?
- Is this a block-party area or do people keep to themselves?
- Do dog owners in the area put them on a leash or are they allowed to roam free?
These are just a few basic things you want to know that will help you decide on a new home!
