Okay, this one is probably no surprise, but it’s important when it comes to lifestyle. Do you want to be downtown where you’ll be close to all the fine dining and chic shopping or are you more likely to seek open spaces with hiking and biking trails? Do you want to be in the middle of the action or do you yearn for peace and quiet?

Consider Your Passions
