Test Drive a Lexington MA Neighborhood

Lexington MA Neighborhood Search
When buying a Lexington MA home, you’re not just investing in the home, but the neighborhood as well! This might be even more important, as you can make changes to the house, but not so easily the location it’s in.

Normally, as your Lexington MA real estate agent, I suggest that homebuyers take a drive to the neighborhood, walk around, meet some neighbors. If you’re wondering how you can ‘test drive’ a neighborhood while sheltering-in-place during the COVID-19 pandemic, here are some suggestions:

-Use Google Street View to browse the neighborhood from your couch.
-Read local news publications and join local social media groups.
-View local neighborhood/community statistics, safety ratings and local school data.
-Use Google Maps to determine average commute times at different times of the day.
-Ask your agent any specific questions you may have; they are familiar with the area.

Thanks to technology, there is still plenty we can do virtually, and real estate is no different! When ready to accomplish your Lexington MA real estate market goals this spring, contact me, your Lexington MA real estate agent. Let’s discuss your options!
