While shopping for a new home, you will likely view a lot of properties and may even attend a few open houses. That’s part of the process of finding your next dream home.
When you are looking at a home or attending an open house, take some time to explore the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is where you and your family will be spending so much time and it is important to get a feel for it.
To get a sense of what it’s going to be like to live there. You can:
– Take a walk around the block.
– Visit the local park and playground.
– Have a coffee at a local cafe.
– Visit the local school.
– Test access to commuting routes to work.
– Check out daycare facilities.
– Drive to the local shopping centre.
– Investigate local features, such as theatres, restaurants and golf courses.
Before you buy, make sure you are deciding if the entire community is for you. A home is important but so is everything surrounding it.
