When approaching home buying you not only want to consider the home and neighborhood, you also want to think about the broader community. The community is often as important as the home you are living in. Some communities are more involved than others. It’s good to know what you want a community to offer prior to buying a home.

Safety

The most important feature a community should have is safety. You want a community with little crime and an active police force. The comfort and peace of mind this provides is needed for your daily lives.

One way to learn about the safety of a community is by using a search engine. Simply type in the name of the town and crime as your keywords to finds lists of crime data. This will help you determine whether a certain town is right for you.

Arts and Entertainment

Many people love the arts as well as entertainment. Certain communities provide great opportunities throughout the year, especially in summer and fall, for citizens to see local art and entertainment. This allows people to let loose and enjoy their community more richly.

Encinitas, California provides many opportunities like these. For instance this last July was the iPalpiti Festival. It was a series of orchestral and soloist performances. This festival saw its 18^th year in Encinitas, held at the public library. If you like live music, Encinitas is a great place to live.
