10 Signs You are Choosing The Right South Tampa Neighborhood

While looking for homes forsale in South Tampa area, keep in mind that your next home’s neighborhood matters if there is a possibility you will sell it in the future. A home’s neighborhood is a huge factor for it to sell fast. 

Know what you are looking for in a neighborhood and make a list while browsing through listings and visiting open houses.

Here are 10 things you want to look out for:

1. The neighborhood meets your standards. Your ideal neighborhood may be quite different from another’s ideal. What are your priorities? What type of neighborhood is friendly to your lifestyle?

2. Getting the scoop is a breeze. You can easily ask around for the latest developments in the neighborhood. Hang out in the popular establishments or browse through the community website.

3. Homes are constantly being improved. This indicates that people in the neighborhood value their homes.  That’s why they make an effort to maintain and enhance their homes.

4. The neighborhood is organized. A close neighborhood is said to have less crime. This is because people feel connected to each other, much like a family. Try to attend one of the neighborhood meetings or subscribe to a neighborhood newsletter if there’s one.

5. You see people on the streets. Children walking to school or playing in parks mean that the people let their kids outside because they are confident in their neighborhood’s safety.

6. High school scores. Homes where school test scores are strong are priced higher than ones with lower scores. You may search this information in GreatSchools.org. while also checking out South Tampa area real estate for sale. Ratings are based on state standardized tests.

7. You see several bus stops, subways or a train station. Proximity to public transport affects the home’s price. Not to mention the convenience it provides if you prefer commuting rather than driving.

8. Attractions, shops, restaurants are walkable.  In great neighborhoods people love to walk and spend time on the streets and their roads are wide enough for street cafes. The sidewalks are ideal for walking, jogging and biking too. You can get a “walkability rating” through Walkscore.com.

9. Great city services. You notice that garbage is picked up on schedule, streets are paved and maintained and there are no abandoned buildings with overgrown weeds.

10. It has a police and a fire station nearby. Public safety services add to a neighborhood’s safety and security. Having a firehouse nearby may also mean lower homeowners insurance premiums.

Choosing the right neighborhood will be good during your stay but help you sell your home easily in the future. A great neighborhood will definitely add more value to your home.
