This poll at Seattle Bubble raised my curiosity as I’m interested in what folks in the Charlottesville/Albemarle area think. So many factors go into the “where do I want to live” algorithm; one of the ways I assist relocating buyers is by listening to their needs and wants and helping them ascertain the best areas for them to live. “Where I want to live” doesn’t have a “one-size-fits-all” answer, but these are some of the more common criteria discussed by my clients.
I’d love to have included “is public transit accessibility important” but as we don’t really have it in the Charlottesville region, I left it out.
What questions am I missing?
Also – it would be enormously helpful if you’d comment as what “other” you mean …
I’ll post the results on Friday.If I still had a sideblog, I’d put the poll there, but for now I intend to keep it up top until Wednesday or so.
