How do I find out about neighborhoods in other towns?

Contributions: 1

Q&A

:1

I'm looking to move out of state and seem to have found good deals online. However, there's no way to tell what the neighborhood is like, what the community spirit is like, how to find a good realtor in the area, nor any way to figure out if it will be "home." How can I find out these non-tangibles when looking at listings?

Find the MLS in that area, most have online searches and search the street, see how many are for sale. Then use Google to do street views. You can about drive down the roads with virtual maps they have. Most places have local papers online.

This will give you an isea, but visiting will be better.

Chamber of Commerce is a good place to start, look at the schools, clubs and organizations. Call the police department and query them. Subscribe to the local newspaper or check the local newspaper website daily. If you need help with a Realtor referral, let us know.

You should also check with the local area Chamber of Commerce. They can supply you with a relocation guide and refer you to a realtor that knows the areas.
