Moving in to a New City or Community? Here’s Why You’ll Want to Meet the Neighbors

November 6, 2014 by Linda White

Moving in to a New City or Community? Here's Why You'll Want to Meet the NeighborsAre you moving to a new community or a new city? When you find a new house that meets your needs and seems like a perfect fit, you’ll want to take some time to meet your potential new neighbors before you sign on the dotted line.

In today’s blog post we’ll share a few reasons why meeting the neighbors can help you feel right at home in your new community.

Your Neighbors Are Experts on Your Local Community

Whether you have questions about the area’s safety at night or you simply want to know where the best coffee shops are, you’ll find that your neighbors are an excellent source of information about the local area.

Spend some time thinking about questions that you would want answered before committing to buy in a certain area, and ask the locals after you’ve viewed the home. Yes, you could ask the seller, but remember that it’s their goal to get you to buy the home and you’re most likely interested in impartial answers.

They Can Help the Kids Get Settled in

If you’re moving to a new city with children you’ll likely want to get them introduced to other neighborhood kids so they can start making new friends. Meeting your potential neighbors during the home buying process will allow you to determine which have children that are of a similar age as yours. Of course, if you find that there are no other children in the local community that might be a sign that the area isn’t very family-friendly, so you’ll want to factor this in as well.

You’ll Need to Assess Your Future Relations

If you decide to buy this particular new home you’re likely going to be living in the local neighborhood for years – perhaps even decades. Meeting the local neighbors before purchasing your home allows you to make an assessment of how well you’re going to integrate into the local community and whether or not you’ll be able to have warm relations with those that live around you. It takes just a few minutes of asking around friends and family to hear horror stories about bad neighbors; meeting the locals will help ensure that you don’t make a mistake that you’ll regret later.

When you’re ready to start your hunt for the perfect new home – and the perfect new neighbors – contact your local real estate professional. Working with an experienced real estate agent is the best way to get the home you’re after in a price range you can afford.
