1 quick way to find the best places to live in Phoenix.

Here is a tool that many of our clients use to help them get a feel for different neighborhoods in the Valley and help them find the best places to live in Phoenix:

Google Maps – Street View. 

Let’s say that you’ve found a home for sale that you think has potential, but you’re not sure of the geographic area and you definitely don’t know the neighborhood.

Your could jump in your car and drive across town, spending an hour or two in traffic… Wait a minute… Haven’t we been there before?

You are the smarter home buyer.

Just plug the address into Google Maps and select Street View.

Drop the little yellow guy (peg man) right where you want him.

You can have a virtual tour of an entire neighborhood and surrounding area, without having to step one foot outside of your own home.

You can get an instant quick view of the home for sale and get a feeling for whether or not it fits within what you desire.

Now you know how to find the best places to live in Phoenix.

Once you’ve determined how you feel about the neighborhood, you can decide whether or not it’s worth your time to make the trip.

The best places to live in Phoenix are where you decide they are!

Simple, isn’t it?
