In the debate of nature vs nurture the question is raised, does the background environment you grew up in effect your behavior more than your genetic makeup. The current research is leaning towards both nature and nurture accounting for about fifty percent of a persons underlying behavior traits. This is far from a conclusive result, but certain factors, from the environment in which you grew up, can effect choices made during the house hunting process. Below are some considerations to pay attention to, when making choices house hunting.
- Close proximity to family, can be a big component in choosing a location in which to house hunt.
- Growing up in the country or city, can leave a longing for wide open space, with no neighbors nearby, or a longing for the city lights.
- Whether growing up in a two-story, bungalow, tri-level, ranch, cape-cod, condo or an apartment, each style of house has a particular charm.
- If growing up in a rural area, a long commute time would be normal. Living in a more suburban setting, a long commute time, or maybe even being able to walk to work, would have been a possibility.
