How To Choose The Best Site For Your New Home
By Dan Handle, 23 Jan 23:12
Choosing the Perfect Building Site
Location of Neighborhood
1. Look around, talk to neighbors. Are the streets safe and is there enough privacy?
2. Are the neighbors likely to be compatible with your tastes and lifestyle?
3. Will the size of your home be compatible with the existing market?
4. Are there sources of noise, smoke, or odors that will become a problem in the future?
5. Are there any new developments planned near your site that will affect your neighborhood?
Community Facilities
1. Are there adequate shopping facilities nearby?
2. If you have children, how’s the school system?
3. Are there daycare centers available?
4. Are places of worship available and convenient?
5. Are Police and Fire Protection adequate?
6. Is there a Hospital or Medical Center nearby?
7. Is public transportation frequent and convenient?
8. Are there suitable parks/recreation close by?
Utility & Improvements
1. What is the water system, public or private well? If there is a well, what is the depth and gallons per minute?
2. Will the service be enough for a sprinkler system if that is important to you?
3. Is the septic system adequate and reliable for future needs?
4. If you need a septic system, is the soil, percolation rate and water table adequate for a new system? What is the anticipated cost of a system?
