Even if the home is right, the neighbourhood could be wrong! Be sure to research nearby schools, even if you don’t have children. That could affect home value. Look at local safety items. Map the nearest hospital, pharmacy, grocery store and other amenities you’ll use. Drive through the neighbourhood on various days and at different times to check out traffic, noise and activity levels.
