Since relocating is such a
major undertaking, it’s vital to thoroughly research your options. Here are
five things to assess in a prospective neighborhood to ensure you’ll feel at
home.
1. Transportation
One consideration is how you’ll
navigate your new surroundings. Find out whether you’ll have access to public
transportation or need a car. If you can use public transit, what are the
service hours and stops? If you require airport proximity, determine how you’ll
get there. The amount of time it will take to get to all your destinations.
2. Businesses
Before visiting a
neighborhood, think about businesses you’ll be frequenting, such as a bank, medical
services, grocery store, pharmacy and retail shops. Make sure they’re a
comfortable distance from your prospective home.
3. Schools
If you have children, another
must-have is access to quality education. Concerning school reputation, consider
and attend a PTA meeting at a given school. By speaking with other parents, you’ll
get firsthand information on the school’s quality.
4. Amenities
Do you like to frequent the
gym, the park, restaurants, pubs, music venue or the theatre? Research the
proximity to your favorite venues and activities.
5. Economy
Drive through the streets of
a potential neighborhood and look for clues. Are businesses opening up, clean
streets, and a prevalence of people moving in the area? Look for indications
that people care about their property and each other. Do houses and landscapes
look maintained? Are neighbors interacting? Talk to them and ask about their
experience of living there.
Get detailed information from
reliable sources. Invite conversation, and record your observations. Then make
your smart move. You’ll be able to settle down for as long as needed in a
wonderful neighborhood with the help of Tim
