We keep hearing so much about good neighborhoods and bad neighborhoods.
But what’s the difference between the two?
Actually, tell me what do you envision when someone says the phrase good neighborhood?
Well, most people would say the following:
- An array of luxury lifestyle villas in Bangalore or any other metro city
- Clean and well-maintained roads.
- Renovated houses
- An array of perfectly mowed lawns
- Affluent neighbors
Yada Yada! So on and so forth!
We pretty much have a clear idea of what a good neighborhood looks like — but the things that we mentioned above only cover one part of a good neighborhood.
There are so many other things, on much more baser level, that can be attributed as the traits of a good neighborhood.
First and foremost, we believe that a good neighborhood is the one that perfectly aligns with your lifestyle and expectations.
After that, it doesn’t matter whether you are living in a luxury lifestyle villa in Bangalore or in a beautiful, quaint apartment in a more remote city.
So, let’s see the top 5 traits of a good neighborhood:
1. Abundant Green Landscaping
This is pretty much a prerequisite of a good neighborhood.
As soon as you enter a good neighborhood, you will instantly witness a neat array clipped lawns, lush and free landscaping. This offers a perfect blend of serenity, style, and aesthetics to the neighborhood. Moreover, lush landscaping and tall, green trees offer shade to the homes and parks to keep the atmosphere breezy, even during abject summers.
2. Good Neighborhoods Are Always Safe
Safety is one of the reasons why people invest big bucks in when buying a home. Good neighborhoods mean gated communities where you don’t have to constantly fear about the safety of your kids. Residents don’t have to think twice before strolling alone at night in such gated neighborhoods. All in all, you will enjoy security measures such as top-notch security, gated locality, no access to trespassers, and so forth.
3. Access to All Amenities
Good neighborhood also constitutes being in the close vicinity to basic amenities such as a good hospital or an emergency room. Knowing that you always have access to basic things is enough to put your mind at rest. You also won’t have to send your kids to faraway schools with top-notch schools and colleges being closer to home.
4. Vibrant Nightlife and Entertainment Options
Apart from being closer to nature and basic amenities, good neighborhoods also offer great options for socializing and mingling with your friends. If you are living in a great neighborhood, then you will always have close access to swanky bars and top in the line theatres and restaurants.
5. A Good Neighborhood Always Looks Appealing
You are unlikely to ever witness shabby apartment building with chipped paint in a great neighborhood. They are always impeccable with buildings and houses with interesting architecture and exteriors. All in all, when you are driving around in a good neighborhood, you will always feel comfortable and welcomed.
