02 Mar Location, Location, Location: The Importance of Your Lot
Building a home can be exciting! Meeting with the architect and contractor to design your home is a huge step in anyone’s life but before you get excited about the interior and exterior of your home, you need to think about where it will be located. Choosing a property lot is the biggest step when deciding to build your dream home.
The Dreamscape Homebuilders team can help you find the best lot possibly for your family’s needs. Below are some helpful tips that we will go over with you:
- Visit the site in person during different times of the day, season and/or year. Make sure to look at the lot from all different angles.
- Consider the pros and cons of the property. We can help develop a list for you ranging anywhere for views, nearby resources and price.
- Look at how much outdoor living space you want. Corner lots are usually wider and require more landscaping whereas middle lots could be narrower and require less maintenance.
- Consider the local resources. These resources can include schools, churches, shopping centers, commuting to work, hospitals, parks and other amenities your family uses daily.
- Think about your lifestyle. If you have children, maybe a quiet street or home in a cul-de-sac are ideal. Or if you prefer to stay indoors, maybe a busy street will not bother you.
