Another big part? Choosing the right neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of bedrooms and square footage are certainly important when buying a home \u00e2\u20ac\u201d but the community might be even more vital.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, it\u2019s where you\u2019ll likely exercise and socialize, where your kids will grow up and go to school and, ultimately, where you\u2019ll put down roots and build a life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you ready to look for a new home? Here\u2019s how you can find the right neighborhood:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Know your needs.<\/strong> If walk ability is high on your list, make sure the neighborhood offers plenty of paths to explore. Is your commute to work a big factor? How long will it be? What are your thoughts on homeowners associations?<br \/><\/li><li><strong>Do some research.<\/strong> Take some time to look into the community. Check out school district ratings and look at nearby listings to see home values. Reach out to learn what else the community offers.<br \/><\/li><li><strong>Check out online groups.<\/strong> Pull up any neighborhood groups you can find on social media. Does the online community seem friendly? You can also search for a neighborhood newsletter or local events.<br \/><\/li><li><strong>Take a self-guided tour.<\/strong> Drive around the neighborhood at different times of day to get a feel for its character. Can you see yourself living there? If you\u2019re buying from out of town, you can hop on Google Maps and take a virtual walk.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you\u2019re ready to take an online tour or see a home in person, <a href=\"http:\/\/Bobkratz.Howardhanna.com\">get in touch today. <\/a>Together we\u2019ll find the right<a href=\"http:\/\/Bobkratz.Howardhanna.com\"> <\/a>home and neighborhood for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding a home that suits you is only part of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[12,976,13,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-life","category-listings","category-real-estate"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","chromenews-featured":"","chromenews-large":"","chromenews-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Being BOB","author_link":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/author\/admin\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/stuff\/events\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Events<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/life\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Life<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/real-estate\/listings\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Listings<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/real-estate\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Real Estate<\/a>","tag_info":"Real Estate","comment_count":"0","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p822aG-EV","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2537\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
