Finding the Perfect Neighborhood when you PCS

By planning ahead, you can find a neighborhood that works for you and your family. One of the best ways to find your perfect neighborhood when you PCS is choosing a real estate agent that understand the community as well as the needs of military families. 

Of course, if you have children, considering schools is a major part of choosing the right neighborhood. Researching schools can be a great place to start. For others, living near certain amenities is most important. 

For military families, a strong support system is vital, so it is important to find a friendly, close-knit community that can offer help and support as needed. If your real estate agent is experienced, he or she will be able to tell you details about the environment and atmosphere of the neighborhood. 

You also want to take a look at the other homes in the community. For instance, you want to pay attention to if the homes are well-maintained or lot. Does the environment look safe? What are the crime rates? Are the streets and sidewalks well-cared for? Perhaps the most important question to ask yourself is if you can see your family living in the neighborhood. 

An experienced real estate agent will be happy to answer any of your questions and guide you in finding a home that is right for your family and your unique needs.
