If you have a decent-sized household and lots of family and friends that live in your area, you may know that you will end up with lots of people in the house that you buy on a regular basis. While you may find it easy to prioritize features to accommodate your immediate household, you may also want to avoid any complications with inviting your family and friends over at any time.
To make sure this happens, you should look at homes thoroughly and make sure you prioritize features that allow you to accommodate lots of people with your property and location.
Garage
When you make it a goal to buy a home with a multi-car garage, you should have no problem parking your household's vehicles on the inside. This means that you will not need to worry about knowing where you are going to park when you invite anyone over to visit your property.
Driveway
With more than enough space in the garage to park your vehicles comfortably, you can look forward to inviting guests over and requesting that they park in the driveway. Since you will find driveways that vary so much in size, you should put time and effort into looking at each one carefully to determine which ones are the easiest to use and offer the highest vehicle capacity.
A long and narrow driveway may be able to fit three or four cars without an issue, but the problem with this setup is how tough it becomes when certain guests want to leave.
Street Parking
When you are inviting enough people over that your driveway will be full, you should look at how much street parking there is nearby. Making sure that it is easy for anyone to come visit regardless of how many guests you have is an important goal worth accomplishing.
This will help you avoid a situation in which family and friends want to start hosting parties or get-togethers at other properties because the parking is such a challenge.
House Size
Getting a large property is one of the things that you will need to do if you expect to accommodate sizable guest counts. Also, you should prioritize spaciousness for certain rooms such as the kitchen, living room, backyard, and dining room as these are all shared spaces.
When you are determined to accommodate large numbers of people in the house you buy, you should think about some or all these features before making a purchase.
