4 Ways To Know If An Athens Area Neighborhood Is Right For Me

Ask Jennifer… How do I know what the right neighborhood is for me?

 

Today’s customer question of the day… How do I know if a neighborhood will be right for me? Below are 4 thoughts from KW to help you answer this common question.

  1. CHECK OUT THE STATS: Crime data, both the volume of crime and the types of crime, and school performance data are important when thinking about what’s best for your family.
  2. SEE WHAT THE NEIGHBORS ARE DOING: Get a sense of local activities, and see if it looks like a place with frequent block parties or if people may keep more to themselves.
  3. LEARN THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS: Find out if there are frequent jams, or if a nearby farmers’ market limits road access during weekends.
  4. LOOK FOR LOCAL AMENITIES: Make sure you explore the area to find things that matter to you, like local coffee shops or parks.

Your choice of neighborhood can be one of the key decisions in deciding where you’d like to live. The choice of neighborhood in the greater Athens area also normally entails deciding what type of amenities you would like, how close to the city or events you want to be, and more! Don’t leave all this information to chance! We’d love the opportunity to guide you through this process.

15 Summer Home Safety Tips

One of the crimes most frequently reported to the police is residential burglary

Planning your summer vacation trips away from your home in the Athens area? This can be an exciting time for travel, but be sure to take a few minutes and make plans for your home while you’re away! Burglary safety doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive and there are some steps you can take to help prevent burglary. Please share this checklist with friends, and we hope you have a fun and safe summer vacation!

Tips on Safeguarding Your Home via KW

  • Make sure all exterior doors have good locks-at least dead-bolt locks with a 1″ throw.
  • Always lock up when you go out, even if only for a few minutes.
  • Secure sliding glass doors with bars or locks, or put a broom handle in the door track.
  • Make sure your windows have good locks, especially those at ground level.
  • Make sure all porches, entrances, and outside areas are well lit.
  • Trim any bushes or trees that hide doors or windows.
  • Maintain your yard and keep ladders and tools inside when you’re not using them.
  • Don’t hide your keys under the doormat or in a flowerpot. That’s the first place burglars look! It’s much better to give an extra key to a trusted neighbor.
  • Mark your valuable property like TVs, VCRs, computers, cameras and stereos with your driver’s license number.
  • Keep a record of your property in a safe place.
  • Install an alarm system for summoning emergency help.
  • If you park your car outside, never leave a garage door opener in the car.

When you go away

  • Ask a neighbor to collect your mail and newspapers, and offer to return the favor.
  • Put an automatic timer on at least two lights and a radio. Consider photoelectric sensors to turn outside lights on and off automatically.
  • Tell a trusted neighbor when you’re leaving and when you’ll return. Include an itinerary and phone numbers where you can be reached in an emergency.
