Location. Location. It\u2019s the most important factor in your decision to buy a home. Choosing the right neighbourhood has an impact on how much you\u2019ll be able to walk and whether or not you have smooth access to public transportation. If you have kids, it will impact your decision about the schools they\u2019ll be attending. And, the more great features the neighborhood has, the more attractive the house will be when it comes time to sell.<\/p>\n<h2>Here is a guide to follow when looking to purchase a home.<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Schools and daycares<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you have a family, make sure the houses you look at are within the boundaries of the school where you\u2019d like to send your kids. You can call the local school board to find out. If you are still in the family-planning stage, you\u2019ll want to investigate daycare wait times and prices as well as drop-off and pick-up times. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montreal-realestate.ca\/english\/school-in-montreal-west-area\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">More information on Schools in Montreal Area.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Transit<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Whether or not you need it, good access to public transportation adds value to your home. Even if you don\u2019t need public transit now, what about if you want to start a family? As your kids get older, this feature will save you time driving around. Or perhaps you\u2019ll want to start an Airbnb or have a tenant. Access to public transit is a necessity.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Parks <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you have kids or grandkids, a park is a fantastic place to have within a short walking distance. Visits to the parks give you an opportunity to meet your neighbours and a space for your kids to play. Playdates, street hockey games, biking adventures are the stuff of life-long friendships.<\/p>\n<p>If you need more information about buying, check out my article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.montreal-realestate.ca\/english\/great-towns-to-live-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Montreal&#8217;s Great Neighbourhoods To Live In.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Trees <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The older the trees, the more established the neighbourhood.
