When hunting for a new place to live, one needs to remember that you are looking not for a place to move but you are becoming a part of the neighbourhood. So, a neighbourhood that suits your needs becomes an important part of your search.

There is no such thing as a perfect neighbourhood. However, there are a few components that are common to all neighbourhoods. Evaluating these components based on your needs will lend the necessary balance to settle into a good one..

Safety - probably the first aspect in your house hunt, one needs to find out how safe the locality is. A low crime rate and easy access to security services during an emergency are very important.

Lifestyle match: People tend to gravitate towards neighbourhoods with similar demographics. A gated community may not fit the need of a single person and a villa on the outskirts may not match the needs of a family with small children. This lifestyle match makes it easier to make friends and develop good neighbour relationships.

Good schools: For people with young children this becomes a very important part of the neighbourhood. Close access to good schools not only makes it easy and safe, but it also helps to keep the value of the neighbourhood more sought after. This makes the value of the property remain strong over the years.

Accessibility to hospitals - there is a tendency to overlook this. While it may not be very important, it can get crucial especially if you have elders or babies at home who need speciality care.

Easy access to basic necessities: While the neighbourhood may not speak of established supermarkets or malls, the availability of basic necessities at a walkable distance is of great importance. There will be times when you want to walk it out, to go to the grocery or pharmacy stores.

Closeness to public transport: Even if you own private vehicles, easy access to public transport presents a case for emergency use. It also helps when friends or family want to reach your home easily.

Easy reach to restaurants and hotels: While today’s world has brought restaurant supplies to your doorstep via the smartphone, there are times when dining out feels good. A neighbourhood that has these services closer to it, always makes it a better value.

Finally, the one thing that truly makes a neighbourhood go from good to great is your home. If you have a good home, the neighbourhood will become a fabulous place to live.
