Finding the right apartment or home for rent is about much more than the rent. It takes a great deal to make a house a home, especially when it comes to the neighborhood and community. Tudor Oaks Properties, with rental properties throughout the Ashland area, has some tips about the features you should look for outside of the house before signing a lease.

When you're looking at homes for rent, they recommend finding an area with:

• Good Schools: When it comes to finding a neighborhood that offers your kids the best education possible, being a renter actually offers some advantages over owning a home. Tudor Oaks Properties offers homes for rent in neighborhoods with some of the best schools in the city.
• Safety: Before renting a house, ask the neighbors about their experiences in the area, and check online for local crime statistics. Sites like mylocalcrime.com will help you find a safe neighborhood for you and your family.
• Amenities: One of the most important factors in determining your quality of life is the availability of entertainment options and basic amenities. Look for a neighborhood with a nearby grocery store, fitness facilities, and other features you and your family may need.
• Atmosphere: Visit the area a few times, at different times of day and week, to see what the neighborhood is truly like. This can help you decide whether you want to move in before you commit yourself.
