Factors
to consider when determining where you want to live are important - first and
foremost, what is your budget? Knowing how much you can afford is a great place
to start. Beyond pricing, it is also important to consider factors such as
commute, schools, and
even the type of neighborhood you want to live in. Do you prefer privacy over
the amenities of a luxury
home in the heart of downtown Tampa? Would you rather have
shopping and dining in walking distance, or something more suburban with a
large yard? All of these factors combine to help determine your ideal home and
the location of that home.
