[quote=Anonymous]Are you asking about things to look for? Things I care about are: Can the kids walk to school or playground? Are there trails or places they can safely bike? Common areas where they can play with friends? How is the guest parking? Visit the neighborhood at different times of day (weekday evening, weekend morning and evening) and see who is out, whether there are kid toys in the yards, where there is maintenance stuff like trash everywhere after trash day. If you have the chance, visiting on July 4 or Halloween gets a you pretty good idea of the neighborhood too. It's possible to look in the property tax database and see if the neighboring homes are owned by somebody living at another address, i.e., a landlord. Nothing wrong with renters, but we got tired of making friends that moved away after 1-2 years.[/quote]
