Searching for a semi-custom home in a family friendly community can be a daunting task. You’ll probably spend hours looking through listings on various realty sites that claim to know the area the “very best” of any realtor in the county. Sometimes you can find a good egg in the bunch, but it will require some time and dedicated searching before you find the perfect place to settle down with your family. We’ve put together a few tips and tricks to help you find the perfect family friendly community in Maryland. If you follow them, you’ll be off to a good start!
3 Tips for Finding Family Community
- Check out the schools – Did you know that the Millennial generation sets a lot of stock by how good the schools are in a given community? Since Millennial adults are starting to have kids now, they’re starting to look for the best schools and we think that there’s certainly something to it. Finding a community with a good school is a solid start to finding the community you want, especially if you’re planning on growing your family! Maryland has great schools and our communities are mostly in Anne Arundel county, which is ranked in the top 25% in the state for schools.
- See the community at all times of day – It’s crucial that you see the community in the daylight as well as at night. A community that may seem nice during the day may not be as great of a community when you check it out in the evening hours. If you’re moving to a different county or city and you have friends or family there, have them check it out for you. Just make sure that you trust their judgment. You should also learn about the safety and security available in the neighborhood.
- Check out local resources and meet the neighbors – Spend some time in the communities that you’re checking out to see if the neighbors are out and about. If they are, talk to them about how they feel about the community and what’s available in the area as far as entertainment and history go. You can learn a lot by talking to the locals and scoping out the community yourself. See some of the semi-custom homes in the neighborhood as well and find out what all of your options are!
