The Importance of Location When Buying a Home

As the old adage goes… the three most important things about buying a house are location, location, location.
Purchasing a home is one of the most important decisions individuals and families make. With so many aspects to consider such as quality of the schools, safety, and proximity to recreational activities, the one element all of them boil down to is – location.
Blue Mountain Communities offers homes in northern California where residents have access to amazing amenities that are truly the envy of the rest of the country. The nearly limitless number of recreational opportunities, upscale communities, excellent schools and the gorgeous natural surroundings make this area a dream home location for homeowners in every stage of life.
Strong Community Spirit
Those who appreciate community involvement, whether it’s participating in festivals, fairs, parades or even supporting local businesses, will find that the Blue Mountain Communities fit the bill.
• Sacramento extends an invite to residents to participate in endless activities such as the Farm-to-Fork Festival, Global Winter Wonderland at Cal Expo, Golden Sky Festival, Sacramento Kings Basketball , concerts, and events at the Golden One Center.
• Granite Bay promotes health and positivity with opportunities such as Foothills Farmers Market, youth sports and soccer clubs, and activities at Folsom Lake.
• Rescue enjoys a rural feel among the rolling foothills. But, when it comes to community activities it is anything other than remote and residents enjoy year-round activities. There is an entire list to view at rescuecadestination.com
• Bethel Island is home to many festivals where locals come together to appreciate food and music. There’s the Crawdad Festival, Taste of the Delta, and Boats & Berries Music Festival, and our very own Duffy Days which kicks off the summertime at Delta Cove’s The Island Camp.
Excellent Schools
A good education for their children is a huge priority for parents. The Blue Mountain Communities’ neighborhoods are all within school districts that have been rated highly when compared to the rest of the state. A couple great resources to research school rankings are Public School Review and Great Schools. Both have well designed ranking systems that consider attributes such as curriculum, classroom sizes, test scores, and extracurricular activities.
Beautiful Natural Surroundings
Let’s face it; you can’t get much more beautiful than the views in California, even if you tried. Bethel Island, home to Delta Coves, has the advantage of being right on the Delta and within 10 minutes of fast water. Granite Bay, located in Placer County, is nestled within the foothills of the gorgeous panoramic Sierra Nevada Mountains and close to Folsom Lake. The Sacramento area is rich with picturesque landscapes and an abundance of waterways such as the Sacramento Rivers.
Recreational Opportunities
When you live in the heart of such beautiful natural surroundings like the Sierra Nevada mountain range, lakes, or rivers, you will have recreational opportunities available to you on a daily basis. Participating in outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and swimming all lend toward mental and physical wellness that ultimately help create a more fulfilling and enriching life. The Delta Waterways offers so much for exploring, hiking, boating, swimming, and fishing.
If you are considering a move to a Blue Mountain new home community, you’ll find yourself in good company. It’s easy to see why so many have found their dream home location here.
