Drive around neighborhoods where you would like to live. You have to do a little footwork yourself. This assignment is your family’s homework.
The first thing we are going to do is to research the various neighborhoods in our price range. Now, if you already live in a single-family house in a community that you like, and your children are already enrolled in school here, then this is probably a neighborhood where you want to live.
Why should you and your family research neighborhoods by driving around communities you want to live in?
- Find out about the schools and services that are important to you
- Eliminate areas where you do not want to live
- Compare communities and their amenities
Be open to relocating to a new neighborhood that fits within your homebuyer budget. This is where your research comes in handy.
