Buyers searching for a new home have a lot to consider: features or upgrades they want, a great neighborhood where your family feels comfortable and a location that’s convenient. Traci and Ty Chivers of Premier Properties of South Florida have been helping families find their perfect homes for more than 15 years. They know that the location of a home is just as important as the features inside.

Here they offer several tips to help buyers make the right choice when selecting their new neighborhood:

• Think about how the community will fit your life in the years to come. Perhaps you’re only planning to stay in the house for several years or maybe this will be your last move, ever. If you plan on staying through several life seasons – young children, teenagers, empty nest – think about whether the neighborhood will work for you in all of those stages.
• Scope it out. Once you’ve narrowed down your options, check them out. You may be able to do this on your own if the communities aren’t gated or if you have a friend in the neighborhood. Also, feel free to call your real estate agent.
• Amenities and culture. Perhaps the most obvious tip, but be sure to think about your must have items. Do you want a home with a golf membership, a community pool or its own beach? Do you want to be in a neighborhood with a great public school system or are you more concerned about proximity to art museums and coffee shops. Understanding what you need to have to be comfortable (and happy!) is a great first step in making sure you find the right home.

“We often help our clients evaluate neighborhoods as part of the house hunting process,” says Traci Chivers. “Not only can we help you tour gated communities, we can make suggestions based on your preferences and lifestyle.”
