 Making the decision to relocate is tough most of the time. You may have no choice, given your job situation. Or there may be other compelling reasons for the move (family, health, weather).
Once the decision is made, however, the next tough choice is WHERE to live. I'm not referring so much to a particular city since that choice is yours and, given the above, may already have been made.
But having worked with lots of relocations, it seems that one of the hardest things to do is to find a home in the right neighborhood, in a community or town you don't know.
 So what IS a neighborhood? Or perhaps more accurately, what does "neighborhood" mean to you and how will you know that you have found the right one? Can you put into words why an area feels right to you or not? Or is the home itself of greater importance?
- Is it a place that feels, or looks, just like where you now live?
- Is it defined by the physical parameters of the area - streets, fences, trees, open land physical boundaries such as fences and gates?
- Is it a place where everyone knows everyone on the street, interacts regularly, hangs out in driveways?
- Is is a place where the homes are mostly alike or more diversified?
- Is it defined by the people who inhabit the area?
- Is it an area that is near a downtown/commercial region, within walking distance
There isn't a right answer, of course, since what "neighborhood" means will vary for everyone. But I know that for most people it is a critical aspect of your home search. And something you need to think about as you explore housing possibilities.
And when you are on your house hunting trip, keep this in mind. You need to look at homes that meet your criteria, but you also need to gain a feel for the communities you are considering.
Is where you live going to be based on the house only? Or the neighborhood?
