1. neighborhood & schools (kinda joined at hip)
2. work proximity

If 1 & 2 are ok, then –

3. price & other fees (hoa, taxes – again, hard to break out for me)
4. location (off busy street – done it both ways & I can’t adjust to noise)

Kinda seems how factors played out for me here & have never regretted my decision.

Other factors include:

5. one story home
6. larger lot size

From eyeballing homes on Redfin, I like Tioga home best b/c of nobody directly across street & not on a corner.
