When it comes to purchasing property, first-time home buyers may find it difficult to navigate their way through the real estate market.
There are various things to consider – from the property’s location and security concerns, to its downpayment and resale value.
An important factor for first-time home buyers to take into consideration is the surrounding amenities present in the neighbourhood such as leisure, healthcare, education and more.
The presence of surrounding amenities also plays a part in determining the resale value of a property, which allows for a better return on investment.
With that being said, here are five surrounding amenities that make a property much more attractive:
1. Quality education institutions
It’s a well-known fact that neighbourhoods with good schools improve a property’s value. This is because many are willing to pay more for a home located in a desirable district.
Families with children or couples planning to have children in the future can scout for highly rated schools in the vicinity. Even if you don’t have children, you can be sure that future home buyers with young kids will be on the lookout for schools and colleges close to home.
2. Retail necessities
Whether you need to pop by the supermarket for your weekly grocery run, or shop for garments at your favourite designer store, having commercial properties nearby is definitely a must-have if you are all about that urban lifestyle.
For properties in newer areas, look out for commercial shop lots or malls nearby that are currently in development. These could be an indicator of an up-and-coming commercial hub in the future that will benefit you.
3. Emergency services
While this might not be at the top of your priority list, having fast access to medical and healthcare services is crucial in dire situations.
In the event you or a family member must be rushed to hospital, having emergency services close by ensures that you will receive medical attention in the soonest possible time, especially if it is just a 10- to 15-minute drive away.
4. Well-integrated public transportation and major highways
It’s no secret that properties located close to public transportation are in high demand. The added convenience of getting around via bus or train is what many home buyers look for, even if they have their own means of transport.
If you do own a vehicle, living in close proximity to major highways is a plus as it means you can reach your destination quicker.
5. Natural environment
Attaining the city life may be all the rage, but there’s something to be said for the calming and relaxing nature of tranquil living.
Whether it’s being surrounded by greenery or enjoying breathtaking views right from your window, being away from the hustle and bustle of the city will help you settle in for some much-needed peace and quiet after a long day.
