What to Consider When Choosing Location of New Home
What to Consider When Choosing the Location of Your New Home
Location. Location. Location. We’ve probably all heard this real estate mantra when it comes to buying a home. While finding the right physical home for you and your lifestyle is paramount, the location truly plays a significant role. When it comes to choosing new homes in Stoughton, WI, you can count on Eldon Homes to build communities that are well situated, but we can also help you build on your own lot.

Understanding Property Taxes
It’s always a good idea to research the property taxes associated with a home. While the home and location may seem ideal, the property taxes could prove challenging for you financially. By being aware of the rates upfront, you can better judge the total costs of owning a home and make informed decisions.
School District Considerations
School districts matter whether you have children or not. Obviously, those with children want a home in a quality school district with a good reputation and strong programs. But even if you don’t have children, a good school district adds to the overall value of your home. A weak school district can impact your home’s value negatively. You should also consider the home’s proximity to the school and the amount of time spent traveling back and forth, especially if you have children involved in after-school programs.
Proximity to Work and Daily Needs
In addition to being near a good school, you want to make sure the home you’re considering is within a reasonable distance to work. A long commute can ruin some of the appeal of a home. Look for communities with easy highway access. This ensures you can easily commute to work – and fun – without spending excessive time in transit.
Site Selection for Building on Your Own Lot
While the landscape of communities is chosen to provide easier building, if you choose to build on your own lot, you’ll need experts to help you decide the best spot on the land to construct your home. Grading, leveling, and other factors play a crucial role in where a home can be safely and soundly built. Fortunately, we have those experts who can help you find the ideal location on your land to build your dream home.
