RESEARCH NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE BUYING
#1 consideration is still schools, along with walkability, compatible age, background & education levels, as well as sex offenders, which can be researched on the Internet. A few other “musts”:
(1) CONSTRUCTION – zoning for vacant land, “planned” roads, city planning & more, (2) SOCIAL
ACTIVITY – too little or too many kids, teens – do folks chat, (3) NIGHT VISITS – frequent parties,
barking dogs, informal drag races, band “rehearsals”, outside lights, (4) NOISES, SMELLS – train
whistles, incessant highway or factory noises, downwind from a land fill, (5) MORE ONLINE RESEARCH
which is readily available. Just walk a neighborhood on the week-end – too many cars could indicate
a declining neighborhood.
