This is hard, so I’m going to make it easy:
What should I look for when I’m evaluating a neighborhood to buy in?
Because of the Fair Housing Laws, this is actually a difficult question to answer. I can give you some useful hints, though.
Visit your prospective neighborhood at 9:30 at night. Sit in your car and watch what happens. By 9:30, people in the neighborhood will be doing what they do at night.
Are they doing what you like to do? If so, you’ll like that neighborhood.
Are they doing things you don’t like to do — or worse, don’t want done around you? That neighborhood is not for you.
Obviously you’ll factor in location, structure, amenities and price. But if you don’t fit into your prospective neighborhood at 9:30 at night, you won’t fit in at any other time, either…
