Buying A Home? Choosing Your Next Neighborhood







Finding the right neighborhood is as important, if not more important, than finding the right home. Keep in mind, you can always update your home but you can't remodel the neighborhood! 

Start by putting together a list of what you want. Start by considering the pro's and con's of the neighborhood. To put together your "short" list The Monti Group has put together a quick checklist of things you might want to consider when looking for a new community:
  1. Homeowners Association (HOA)
    A homeowners association regulates the rules of the neighborhood, monitors crime and can be a great asset to your neighborhood.
  2. Neighborhood schools
    If you have children, it is critical to have a good school close to your new home.
  3. Surrounding amenities
    Does the neighborhood have a nice park? Is there a grocery store just a couple blocks away? What about a nearby gym or rec center? Good amenities can make a huge difference!
  4. Future development
    It's important to check with your city planning office on the community's plans for road expansion, property development and construction. Future construction can really add to or take away from your ideal setting.
  5. Good record
    Crime rates, school tests scores and diversity are all statistics that may help you decide on your next community.
It also helps to visit the community at different times of day and nothing beats walking around to give you a great feel of your future neighborhood.

Consider all the things on your list and make sure your decision is based on what your heart is telling you and buy a home and neighborhood that is a good fit for you and your family.
