You have found a neighborhood that intrigues you with good prices, a charming feel, but you want to know more. The easiest way to research a neighborhood is to go online.

You can start by going to the following sites:

  • The city’s website
  • The county’s website
  • The local visitor’s bureau website
    • (These local links can also be found on our website.)

Other online resources:

Additionally, you may want to know more about the local schools and area demographics. We offer this information through our Neighborhood Navigator research tool. To use this tool, launch Neighborhood Navigator, and enter your desired City, Zip, School, etc…

 

Neighborhood Navigator provides in depth information on community information with population, turnover, and housing inventory, age demographics, and crime versus the national average.

School information including student to teacher ratio, discretionary spending per student, and school test scores are also available.

Of course, when you are looking at a neighborhood it’s important to go offline as well.

  • Walk through the neighborhood
  • Attend open houses
  • Drive through to get a feel for the daily traffic patterns, especially during traditionally busy times, such as school drop-offs and commute hours
