Property in areas that have good schools and universities are always in high demand so, whether you have kids or not, buying property in these areas may well be a top priority for you to consider when making your decision.
Properties near good schools and universities tend to preserve their values and ensure faster resale rates so, in the long run, investing in a home in one of these areas can really pay off. Buyers that have kids will often migrate and be drawn to properties situated in good school zones and are likely prepared to pay more.
When considering your future, you also won’t have to worry about moving closer to a school when your children reach school-going age.
These properties are also excellent buy-to-let investment options because the demand to live in these areas is always high, which makes the properties easy to rent out. The demand yields a higher rental income and the rental periods are usually longer because families will often choose to stay in the area while their children attend the local schools. In areas close to good universities the demand for student housing is always high.
The benefits don’t stop there. Areas with schools generally tend to be safer to live in as they are well monitored and inhabited by people who are just as concerned with safety and security as you are. Your kids will also have more time and opportunities to participate in extra-curricular activities.
Being close to school means that working parents can easily drop off their kids on their way to the office, beating the rush hour in the process, eliminating unnecessary time sitting in traffic and therefore avoiding extra fuel costs.
And, as we all know, getting kids to wake up early in the morning and prepare for school is a battle fought by parents every single day. If you live near your children’s school, everyone in the family can sleep in a little longer and enjoy more quality time together.
