Four Points to Ponder when Buying Home Considering Children

Married or not, at some point of time, you would most probably have to ponder over buying a home considering children. We are sure that your first reaction to this would be – buying a house keeping in mind children? Who does that? Even though this seems slightly farfetched, this is one of the important things to consider while buying a house. Here is a low down on things you can check when buying a home with children in mind.

Dial L for Location Location is anyway important, but when it comes to children, it is even more crucial. Good schools, day care centres (if need be) have to be close and easily accessible from your home. Also add hospitals and emergency rooms to this list!

Safety Matters You don’t want a case of ‘Home Alone’ to happen with your children, right? So consider overall safety of the neighbourhood to safety features within the actual residential complex and residence. For instance, lighting in common areas like lobbies and staircases and in lifts need to have 24X7 backup. Are the wall sockets for all the computers, televisions and electronic items out of the reach of your children or at least properly protected, if children are very young? Are the cupboards in the kitchen children proof?

Space With younger children space may not be a huge problem when it comes to considering buying home with children. But it could be the deal breaker when there are pre teens or teenage children at home. As they are growing up, they would need more space.

Local Transport If the kids are grown up enough, there is a good possibility they would use the public transport at some point of time. So if the location has decent public transport facilities available, that could be a plus.

So do you think you could buy a house with children among those umpteen apartments in Pune? If you are house hunting, give Kumar Pinakin with 2 BHK and 3 BHK in Baner a shot! All the best!
