Homebuyers often embark on their home search armed with a vision of their ideal property, a laundry list of features they'd love to find or can't live without.
Several bedrooms. Large kitchens. A yard big enough for a garden. But what if you prize home traits that extend beyond property lines? Good schools, ethnic restaurants or grocery stores a mere stroll away?
Divining this from the address on a home listing can be difficult, especially if you are moving to a new city. Fortunately, many Web sites are incorporating ways for users to pinpoint the neighborhoods and properties that might best suit their home needs and lifestyles.
The New York Times has picked up on something Nest's Jim Duncan has been talking about for 2+ years: walkability. Jim's site Real Central VA features a search which includes a Walkscore index and the Nest Realty Group site features a great Charlottesville/Albemarle Neighborhood Guide if you want to focus on lifestyle.
