Looking
for family house is a little bit different from looking for house for
individuals; there are many things you must think about if you want to get a
good house for your family. House for
sale ads will promote that their houses are the best, including for family,
but what if you have specific needs for your family residence? Looking for
family house means all your personal and family needs must be fulfilled, and
you will not find the perfect house unless you look for it yourself.
Perfect Family House: What to Look For
When
looking for family house, the best one is the one that accommodates all your
family needs in daily life. If you have small kids, the house must be close
with at least kindergarten or playgroup and elementary school, since parents
usually want to accompany their kids to and from school at these school ages.
If you have teenage kids, you may want to find a house that has access to main
street and public transport so the kids can go to school without you if they
need to.
If you
do not have your own vehicles, or can only use it in limited way (such as only
for work), at least your house must be close with your working place, stores,
laundry shop, market and other public facilities that a family will need
frequently. If it is not close to hospital, at least it should be close to
local clinic or doctor practice (this information is usually available at the
developer’s office or realtor).
Location is Everything
Ask the
realtor about the house location, including the risk and its proximity with
other neighborhood. Some houses may look secluded, but they are close with the
main road and the surrounding areas are clear, not ideal spots to hide for
criminals. Meanwhile, some houses may be located in a crowded housing complex,
but since there are many public shortcuts and the surrounding areas are quite,
they can be a bit risky.
Also,
the location should provide good access to clean water and electricity. You may
want to ask about the stability of electricity system and water in the area,
because sometimes good houses have bad electricity or water system (the water
is dirty, smelly, etc). If you do your research well, you will not be easily
fooled by seemingly good house for sale,
and you can find the best house for family residence.
