Water Management Issues – does water collect naturally on the lot or does it drain well?
Sun vs. Shade – keep in mind the rise and set of the sun for either sun or shade exposure.
Access to the first floor of home from ground level – generational homes require less change in elevation for ease of access to the first floor.
Are future improvements in your plans? – pool, detached garage, firepit?
