Here are a few extras for you...

Mapping Software

Technology is a wonderful thing.  These days you can visit a website and see multiple pictures of a home you may want to buy, and possibly take a video tour.

Now you can even get a aerial and street level views of many properties just by knowing the address and using powerful free software.

If you haven't explored the capabilities of modern mapping software, you may be in for a big surprise.  You can check out your future neighborhood from the comfort of your home using the internet.

You can take a look at the area from 1000 feet above or zoom in to see individual properties.

Aerial views are near overhead and are useful for evaluating the street patterns and amount of development in the area.  The new street-level views and birds-eye views are awesome and are the next best thing to driving down the street.
