Housing considerations
For each property, separate cosmetic preferences from maintenance exposure. Review roof and exterior condition, drainage, basement history and any available permits. If considering a condominium or townhome, ask which exterior components the association maintains and whether planned work or assessments are documented.

Parks and outdoors
William F. Hayden Park on Green Mountain offers a multi-use trail network with summit routes, mountain-bike terrain and unpaved walking trails.

FAQ: Does a Lakewood address mean trail access?
Not automatically. Measure the usable route from the front door to the trail entrance, not a straight-line distance to open space. If outdoor access is a priority, make that route part of the showing itinerary.
