Neighborhood


“Houses form a neighborhood, but only people can make it a community"

 

             

Community is an essential part of family, 
of lifestyle, and of real estate.

When it comes to buying and selling real estate in Phoenix, Arizona, the neighborhood you choose can have a dramatic impact on all other aspects of your life.

The agents at Anna Banana Realty are experts in Phoenix neighborhoods. If you have any questions, please pick up the phone and call us! We'll be glad to share all we know about the neighborhood you may be exploring.

When it’s time to move, you want a REALTOR on your side who has the experience, knowledge of the Phoenix market, and confidence to help you make the best home-buying decision possible - especially if you are a first-time buyer.

We will exceed your expectations with personal, one-on-one service that is incomparable in our industry. We promise the highest level of service to you, your friends, and your associates. Guaranteed!

Tips for Finding the Perfect Neighborhood

1. Make a list of the nearby amenities in the neighborhood you are considering as your new residence.  Keep in mind the distance and routes to each, and whether these places meet all your criteria.

2.  Determine what the best features of the neighborhoods are. This is especially helpful if you are trying to make a decision between a few different neighborhoods.

  • Are there parks nearby?
  • Are there quiet areas, streets, cul de sacs?
  • Are the people in the neighborhood friendly?
  • Is the neighborhood clean? How about the yards, streets, and parks?
  • Are the yards large or small?
  • Is it safe?
  • What are the market values of the homes in the area?
  • Are there many houses for sale?
  • What is the proximity to schools?

3.  Walk around the neighborhood. The best way to determine the cleanliness and friendliness of a neighborhood you are considering is to walk around it and meet its residents.

How do you make your house your own?
