When you purchase a home, you'll have an option period during which you should hire a licensed home inspector to do your inspection. He or she will be able to answer your questions about the house itself. Your Realtor should give you at least three to choose from and they should be familiar with the area.

Before the home goes under contract, do several drive bys at different times of the day. Listen for noise whether it's from traffic, trains, or some other source. Drive through the neighborhood and ask some of the dog walkers what they think of the area. (Train noises can carry a looooooong way.)

Overall, you've picked a good location. Good luck to you!
