Picking your neighborhood is as important as picking your new home. 

1.  Look at the house several times, during the day and night.  A neighborhood can look very different at night when everyone is at home..traffic, kids in neighborhood.

2.  Neighborhood can also affect your pocket book, house prices, property taxes and don’t forget to calculate commuting cost.

3.  Talk to the neighbors they love to tell new buyers everything that is wrong with the house and the surrounding people.

4.  Life is getting busy and being close to downtown has become an important issue for people…check out the downtown on weekends and special event times, see if you can live with the traffic, noise & walking distance from the home you want to purchase.
