If I were to move where would i go? Well me and my husband..

A little late..but here goes nothing?
Unfortunately moving is a part of life. There are new places, new people and new sights to see. The way we chose our new home in Seattle involved two key factors. The first was the property value of the home and the affect of the surrounding areas on the property value. The first location we initially looked at was surrounded by abandoned places and desolate areas. Sure the house was decent but come on..If we dared to move from that house we could kiss our investment good bye. So the next house was in a place that was in the boonies. The area was serene and lush but there was hardly a yard due to the excessive amounts of trees. Selling this one would be a little harder due to the location and surrounding environment so we scratched that quickly. The third, and area that we finally chose, was in a rural neighborhood with historical buildings, a decent sized yard and was in a convenient location to get to local shops, grocery stores and places for entertainment. Being an art buff, the culture lured me in. The recent tween obsession had also brought a ton of families out for tourism and living, so many people we encountered were also new to the area. The perks of the area had raised the property value  much higher and in turn was the best investment for our future new home.

The second set of factors was the statistics that one must consider when going anywhere. These include crime, pollution, traffic control, educational facilities..etc. The house we decided on in Seattle was in a fairly safe neighborhood. Being Seattle, the crime rate was a little higher than what we wanted but the area that we chose had a great neighborhood watch program and the local police force were patrolling every five seconds. The surrounding homes are all fairly new, with few that require an extensive amount of repair. Even though we are childless, future education costs and taxes played a part in our decision making. The tax was at a decent enough level to where there was no great surprise when it came down to important payments. All in all the area was fairly good. The surroundings, neighborhood and facilities made for a smart move on our part.
