What neighborhood factors should I consider when buying?

I'm thinking of moving from Boston to a suburb. What neighborhood factors should I consider when buying a home? Also, are there any socially acceptable ways to check on what kind of neighbors I'll have?

I always advise my clients comb though google streetview, visit the neighborhood at night, and do local shopping in the area.

James, I made the move from the city to Ashby, MA five years ago and could not be happier! Tax rates, commute, school systems, and community involvement where all major factors in our move. I would be happy to help in any way!

You can always check with your county to check for sex offenders through their website, if that is your concern.

There are plenty of online resources to help by googling crime, schools, amenities or whatever else is important to you. Also, try to find a local agent in the area you are looking for. No better advice you can get than from someone that lives in or near where you are hoping to find your dream home.
