If you’re ready to embark on the exciting adventure of buying a home, there are some things you’ll need to consider:
This is an important question because you don’t want to be stuck somewhere you’re not happy. For example, if you have small children, you’ll probably want to be in a safe community with other young families, perhaps a quaint neighborhood with a quiet road you can live on. If you are older, you might be looking for a retirement community without those energetic kids.
If you have children, you’ll want to look at the schools in the area. Do the public schools have positive ratings? Are you considering a charter or private school instead? What are their ratings like? You might also want to look at higher education options for yourself or your older children.
There’s a solid workforce in Rockford, IL, and Janesville, WI, so you shouldn’t have a problem finding a job. It’s still essential that you take some time to look into your particular industry and what Rockford or Janesville can offer your family. This could make a difference if you’re deciding between two houses on opposite sides of town.
Whether you’re 26 or 62, you’ll need some things to do in your downtime. Rockford, IL, and Janesville, WI, has its share of entertainment and recreation, so you’ll need to decide what’s most important to you and your family.
