Choosing a good community for you

Everyone has a different ideal for their neighborhood. Even the ideal for a single person can change over time as priorities change. So what are some general areas to consider when looking for somewhere new to live?

1) Education. Whether it's your own education or your children, looking at the education opportunities that are available in an area is very important. It's easier for college students to live near campus and young families generally want a healthy school district with a good reputation.

2) Crime. Crime is an unfortunate fact of life, but some areas are safer than others. By researching crime rates in the area ahead of time, you will know better what to expect when you live there. Feeling safe in your home is an important part of feeling healthy and happy in general.

3) Amenities. Everyone has a different idea of what they want surrounding their home. For some, lots of parks and playgrounds are important. For others, it may be proximity to a certain type of shopping or job. Make a list of amenities you want for your neighborhood so you can compare neighborhoods easily during your research.
