This is hard, so I’m going to make it easy:<\/p>\n
What should I look for when I’m evaluating a neighborhood to buy in?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Because of the Fair Housing Laws, this is actually a difficult question to answer. I can give you some useful hints, though.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Are they doing what you like to do? If so, you’ll like that neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Are they doing things you don’t like to do — or worse, don’t want done around you? That neighborhood is not for you.<\/p>\n
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…
