The Courtney & Anglin Real Estate Group has knowledge of the Comox Valley that is second to none. Choosing the right neighborhood for your new home is a crucial step in the home-buying process, as it impacts your daily life, long-term investment, and overall happiness. Michele Courtney and Bill Anglin are here to help with any questions you have about real estate in the Comox Valley. Here are a few things to consider when choosing the right neighbourhood for you.
Make a list of your "must-haves" and “nice-to-haves”. Do you prefer a quiet, suburban area or an energetic, urban environment? Are you looking for walkability, local restaurants, or access to nature? Visit the area at different times of the day and night. Is it quiet and well-lit?
If you have children or plan to in the future, proximity to good schools and family-friendly amenities should be high on your list. Even if you don’t have children, the quality of local schools can affect the neighborhood’s property values. The Comox Valley School District (SD71) is a positive, progressive and growing school district. We are here to help with any questions or concerns you may have.
Consider how far your daily commute will be. Let us help you find a location that minimizes travel time, especially if you’ll need to drive or rely on public transportation regularly. How close are grocery stores, shopping centers, schools, medical offices, and entertainment options like cinemas or restaurants?
Let us help you research future development plans at Comox Valley Regional District. Are there new businesses or residential developments on the horizon? This can give you insight into whether the area will improve over time or if potential construction could bring disruption.
The Courtney & Anglin Real Estate Group can provide you with historical property value trends. Have home values been rising or declining? Neighborhoods with consistent growth tend to be a safer bet for future investment. Look at the average home prices, how long homes stay on the market, and the types of homes available. This will give you an idea of what your budget can afford and whether the market aligns with your needs.
Welcome to the beautiful Comox Valley!
