🎯 Define Your Lifestyle Vision Before You Look at Homes

Most people start with price or commute.

But the happiest relocators start with lifestyle.

Ask yourself:

• What do I want my days to feel like
• How often do I want to visit the parks
• Do I want walkability, nature, quiet or convenience
• Do I want new-build communities or character-rich charm
• What kind of neighborhood energy feels like “me”

This becomes your compass for suburban choices.
