What is the one thing Realtors ® tell their buyers to consider above all other things? We've all heard it: "Location, Location, LOCATION". Deciding on and finding the perfect location for you can be difficult, especially if you are moving to a new area you are not familiar with.  In this blog series I will be highlighting many of the neighborhoods in the areas I serve. I will try to answer some basic questions:   * Where is the neighborhood?  * Is there an HOA? If so how much does it cost?  * Link to the HOA if available - which can provide information on schools, size, restrictions, etc.  I will also start to link the list of blog posts here in this blog. That way you can always come back to this post to find what neighborhoods have been featured.
