You’ve narrowed down your favorite Columbus Neighborhoods in which you’re considering buying a home. You love spending weekends just driving around those neighborhoods and looking at the architecture, going to open houses, checking the mileage to the school, church and park. Don’t just drive around!
Stop the car and get out and WALK around your potential new Neighborhood.
Walk around the block. Walk around the next block. Walk to the corner cafe. Have a beer at the corner bar or restaurant. Check the sidewalk and see if it’ll accommodate your new stroller. Take a closer look at the parking signs, the neighbor’s lawns, the views, the walk-ability. Smell the smells. Taste the local fare.
You want your new home to not just look like home, but to feel like home too. Still love your new Columbus Neighborhood Come back at night. How does it change in the dark Come back on the weekend. Are neighbors walking to the park, playing in their yard, digging in their garden or improving their facades
No community is perfect, but don’t forget that where you live is not just about the four walls surrounding you everyday.
A little due diligence like this that can make a huge difference in how much a buyer enjoys their new home & neighborhood. It is also expertise like this that more home buyers in the Columbus area can use.
