Which community is safer and has the best resale value?en-ushttp://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Bridgewater_NJ-765036/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Bridgewater_NJ-765036/HI Stephanie the best source is the Police Dept. they will provide you with all the crime statistics. As for resale value I would be more than happy to show you the trends past and present. Please feel free to contact me for any questions you may have.Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:30:41 -0700http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Somerset_NJ-12230/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Somerset_NJ-12230/Good morning Stephanie, Along with Mary I, too, recommend contacting the Franklin Township Police Department for the best information regarding neighborhood crime stats. And I also must agree that both communities offer excellent resale values. What you didn't state is how many bedrooms do you need; is a basement important; a garage; do you prefer loft-like living, must you be close to public transportation; what outdoor amenities do you seek? Kingsberry Acres is a singular community whereas "Quailbrook" encompasses a number of different townhome developments offering varied floorplans and ammenities. In the end, which community is best depends upon what features in a home are most important to you. To help you sort this all out, HUD offers a list of features that you either must have or would like to have. Go to: http://www.hud.gov/buying/wishlist.pdf to download and print the document.
