Here are some considerations when choosing the neighbourhood to build you new home:

• Time and distance to work

• Are there schools and daycare services nearby?

• How far for shopping and other services?

• What will the neighbourhood look like when completed?

• What kind of development is planned for the surrounding areas?

• Police and fire protection – how quickly can they respond?

• Medical and emergency facilities Parks, playground and recreation areas

• Light rail and bus transportation • Bicycle and walking pathways

• Architectural controls for the neighbourhood  Spend as much time as possible in the neighbourhood at different times of the day before making a commitment.
