Whether you're a home buyer with kids—looking to find the ideal home with the best schools for your children to attend—or not, buying a home in an area that boasts good schools can still be very beneficial. 

Living in a good school district doesn’t just bring great teachers and better test scores, it can also help to ensure better home values and a faster resale when you're ready to make a move.

Many home buyers are prepared to sacrifice certain home features or amenities to ensure their children attend the right schools. According to Realtor.com, one out of every five home buyers would give up a bedroom or a garage for a better school, and one out of every three would purchase a smaller home to end up in the right area.
