Convenient access to public transportation will also affect the re-sale value of your as potential buyers may require this amenity.
Job Commute
The length of your commute to work and back will be a factor in determining where your new home is located. Where you decide to purchase a home will also be dependent on the amount of traffic to and from work. You should take into consideration the amount of time the commute will take as opposed to only how many miles the journey will be.
Accessibility to Shopping and Recreation
Having parks and recreational facilities near your home will be beneficial to your family's needs and increase the value of your home. This will allow for quick errands and enable outdoor exercise nearby.
