Targeted Exposure: Get Your Home in Front of the Right People Think about it: A family with school-aged children probably won’t want to live in a neighborhood that caters mostly to retired folks (unless they’re really into early bedtimes and bingo nights). On the other hand, a bachelor might not be thrilled about living next to a playground full of screaming kids, even if your house has a killer two-car garage.
