If you're looking for a home that's in a family-friendly neighborhood, there are a few key things you can look for to make sure your new house is a good fit for both you and your children.

 

 

Quality Public or Private Schools

 

Are there good public schools nearby? If so, do they span from kindergarten all the way to high school? Finding a home in an area with a great elementary school can be a good fit for several years, but if you're looking for a home that will be convenient in the long-term it's important to consider your proximity to both primary and secondary schools.

 

Parks and Other Relaxing Green Spaces

 

If you're looking for a family-friendly neighborhood with free sources of entertainment, make sure that there is at least one park or playground nearby. Playgrounds can provide endless amusement for younger children, whereas a park can offer entertainment for kids of any age. Either way, have a park in the area will help boost the quality of your family's leisure time.

 

Recreation Facilities and Other Amenities

 

For even more great leisure opportunities, check out the local recreational facilities. Public swimming pools, community centres, and recreation centres often offer a wide variety extracurricular activities and programs. These can be a great support when it comes to supplementing what your kids' education with skills that are learned outside of school, and can encourage a healthy lifestyle as well.

 

Shopping & Services

 

If you're looking for a convenient lifestyle, perhaps one of the most important factors to consider is what stores and businesses are located nearby. Is there a grocery store, doctor's office, cafe, drugstore, gas station, or other essential businesses nearby? Make your life easy! If there are stores nearby that meet your needs it will help boost your neighborhood satisfaction for years to come.

 

A Short (Or At Least Tolerable) Commute

 

If you commute to work, it is also valuable to consider how long of a drive it is between your place of employment and potential new home. The less time you have to spend on the road, the more time you'll have with your family.

 

Neighbors You Will Enjoy Associating With

 

Finally, it is important to consider who else lives in the area. Is the neighborhood you're looking at full of other young families? Are there other children for your kids to play with? Does it seem like a close-knit community?

 

Although you can't predict how relationships will blossom in a new home, you'll set yourself up for success if there are people with similar interests and lifestyles as you. If the people seem great, chances are the neighborhood is, too!
