Where could your next chapter take you?
These guides cover the neighbourhood questions worth asking when selling a long-time home or moving to a smaller one. They do not rank neighbourhoods or promise that every home has the same features.
What matters more than a neighbourhood label?
Try the actual route from a potential home to the places you use. Check entrances, stairs, sidewalks and parking at the property, rather than assuming a whole neighbourhood is accessible. Compare the ongoing costs and maintenance of each home.
A familiar area can help you keep your routines, but the best choice depends on your own needs. Use the downsizing checklist to put those needs in writing.
