Picking the Right NEIGHBOURHOOD

You have decided to buy ahome. You've analyzed yourbudget, talked to a REAL-TOR® and figured out whatkind of house you want. But,the most important step mayhave been left until last: pick-ing the right neighbourhood.

Choosing not only the propercommunity, but also the rightneighbourhood, can have atremendous impact on yourfamily's happiness and thevalue of your investment.

The first thing many peopledo when considering a moveis drive around various com-munities gaining a sense ofwhich areas they like. Buyersfind out how close the majorhighways are and if theneighbours keep their yardstidy. Most will make sure theyknow the location of the clos-est mall. But what about pub-

lic transit, colleges, schools, libraries, parks, recreation centres and fire orambulance stations? Is the local police station close to your prospectiveneighbourhood? All of these factors can make or break a decision to buy acertain property.

Your REALTOR® can provide you with a wealth of general information ondifferent neighbourhoods. For detailed information, it's a good idea to con-tact the appropriate agency directly. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

Contact The MunicipalityMunicipalities have a wealth of information on hand. Some distributebrochures and booklets containing the locations of colleges, libraries, am-bulance stations, hospitals, parks and transit stops. It's also a good idea tocheck the location of recreation centres, swimming pools, ice rinks and thelike, along with the programs they offer.

Call The Local Police & Fire DepartmentsAsk them how many stations service the community and their locations. Alsoask about response time to emergencies.

Contact Local School BoardsThe Greater Victoria, Saanich, Sooke and Gulf Islands School Districts willbe able to give you information on the locations of elementary and second-ary schools within their jurisdictions. It's a good idea to mark the routes yourchildren would take and then walk them yourself.
