There are many important factors to consider when selecting the location of your new home. From the proximity of places you frequent to the position of the lot, finding a homesite can be a stressful experience. Here are three helpful questions to ask yourself when selecting a homesite for your new home.
What part of town do I want to live in?
“Location, location, location!” Chances are you’ve heard that before, right? Location plays and important role when selecting a homesite. If the thought of a long commute to the office brings you dread, you’ll probably want to avoid looking at homesites far away from work. Other factors to think about include the proximity to major roadways, nearby shopping, family members and the school district you’ll be in.
What kind of elevation do I want my homesite to have?
The elevation of your homesite will determine whether or not your home can accommodate a deck, basement walkout, or a patio. Determining which you prefer can make selecting a homesite a little easier. If you dreaming of a home with a deck and a basement walkout underneath, you’ll want to choose a homesite that offers the correct elevation to do so.
How big of a homesite do I want?
The size of your lot will determine how much maintenance is required to manage it. From lawn care to snow removal, you’ll either have to take care of it yourself or hire someone else to do it. Larger lots often require more upkeep than smaller lots, so there is more time (and money) invested in homesite maintenance. Another thing to think about is the position of the homesite and it’s proximity to potential neighbors.
