The number one reason to utilize Google Maps when looking for a new home outside of your area is that it is free. All you have to do is log onto Google Maps and type in the address for the property you are considering purchasing. Instantly you will see a map view of where your home is located, complete with street names and some of the surrounding businesses. You can often determine everything from the nearest grocery store to nearby schools. You can then click \u201cdirections\u201d to quickly find the directions from the home you are considering and other areas of interest such as work, school, and shopping. How cool is that?<\/p>\n

Satellite View Feature<\/p>\n

Along with the map view of Google Maps<\/a>, you can also click \u201csatellite\u201d on the upper right hand corner of the screen in order to see an actual satellite view of the area. Zoom in to see details such as the neighborhood layout. Plus, some addresses will even enable you to take a street view of the property providing you with a better idea of what your home looks like from the road. While utilizing the satellite feature, you can also determine the general neighborhood condition, including the upkeep of nearby homes. However, when opting for the satellite version of the map it is important to remember that it does not stream live so sometimes the maps are often rather old. All in all, Google Maps is a great asset when looking for a new home.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
