Buying a home is about more than the home itself; it's about the lifestyle. At the Blue Coast Team, we want you to find the home of your dreams. Here are some tips to assist you in buying the lifestyle you want when you purchase real estate in Sarnia-Lambton.
Here is How to Buy the Lifestyle.
#1. Envision your dream community
When imagining the lifestyle you want, you need to aim high. First, take a little time to imagine what your dream community would look like.
Maybe you picture yourself waking up and seeing Lake Huron when you peer out your bedroom window. Or maybe you want to live in close proximity to one of our many great nature trails or schools, community centres, or golf courses. Maybe a smaller, growing community downriver suits you. Whatever you want, just write it down.
#2. Explore the neighbourhood

You can also explore on Google Maps, and even get a great 360-degree view with the street view feature.

#3. Consider your family’s needs
When writing, make sure to consider what’s best for the whole family. What schools appeal most to you? Would you like your children to be within walking distance of their school or recreational activities? Ask your family members their thoughts and opinions, and include them where you can.
#4. Balance location vs recreation
Speaking of which, you’ll need to balance location vs recreation.
A great location could be near your work or your kid’s school, but this great location may come at the cost of being at a distance from the recreation you love most. How close to parks, restaurants, shopping, trails, gyms or recreation centres would you like to be?
Whether retiring, or starting a new family, you need to think about the essential things you want from your lifestyle, and your unique situation.
