When you are looking for a place to live, do you think about the area's safety? I do. Most people are concerned about the housing market, school systems, proximity to business, commute to work, and more.

I remember the last time I bought a house. I literally stalked the neighborhood before I signed on the dotted line. Buying a home is a big purchase. So, I went to the subdivision at all different times of the day and felt comfortable moving forward.
