Hi new friend,
When I ask my clients what they most want in a neighborhood, they request:
- A safe area
- A neighborhood with amenities
- An area with great schools
- Convenience in relation to shopping, restaurants, and major highways
- An area that is pretty or has mature trees
- Some folks ask for newer homes, while others ask for lower tax rates
And here are the neighborhoods they end up choosing and why.. (Please keep in mind location is typically budget driven, so please reach out if you would like specialized assistance in finding the perfect neighborhood or subdivision for you!)

When I am trying to help a client narrow down what neighborhood they should be looking at homes within, and the budget questions are out of the way, I ask them, “What do you like to do when you aren't working?” This really drives the location of their home. And above I made the text bold, for the most popular neighborhoods that I tend to recommend the most for my buyers.
I hope this list has been helpful!
