Factors to consider

At least compound hakuna watu wengi sana (not those flats with 100 houses).
The neighborhood should have space for my son to ride his bike around with wazimu wa matatu .si ati ukifungua gate unangoja matatu hapo .
 
Security comes first
Rent price follows and size of the house
Water and electricity availability follows
Accessibility to roads
 
listers,what factors do you consider when looking for a house/new area to live?
When looking to move into new areas, people will often consider their top priorities and how much weight they carry. Some will allow compromises where others would not. Stable power, good internet connectivity, easy commuting, privacy, availability of water, security, schools, health facilities, good roads, weather, entertainment, etc etc. are all factors that will carry different weight for different people depending on their situations. If you have a school-going kid, you might want to ensure that they will be comfortable with the available choice of schools. If a member of the family commutes to work, then the choices you make have to take this aspect into account. Some people cannot live with poor internet connectivity while others cannot stand unstable power. Still, some are preoccupied with security and the state of roads. The weather could also be a factor especially if a family member is susceptible to certain conditions. In short, your priorities dictate your choices.
 
1. Water
2. Security
3. Accessibility to schools and hospitals if you have kids
4. Is the environment conducive for raising kids?
5. Which floor will your house be in? Nobody wants to help you carry your gunia of potatoes to 5th floor.
 
It really depends and above Listers have good points. Connectivity to broadband internet kwangu ni lasima
