A Home For An Agoraphobic

If you suffer from agoraphobia then you are already aware of the huge impact the condition plays on all aspects of your life. If you are now looking for a new home to rent or buy then you want to take a lot of things into consideration. Also, your realtor can help you to narrow down your search by sending you profiles of available homes that you can review online. This way, you can narrow down your search ahead of time so you won't have to leave your home to visit very many of them before you find the one that's right for you. When it comes to choosing the right home for your situation, consider the following factors:

Choose a home that's close to your doctors

You are going to want to limit the amount of traveling you have to do and this means trying to find a home that's a fairly short drive to your doctor's office, your therapist's office and even your pharmacy. Also, try to find a place that's close to anywhere else you will have to go to including stores and other locations.

Choose a home that's on its own property

If you rent or purchase a condo or townhouse that's in a community then you will be opening yourself up to the possibility of having more people coming up to your door. Condos and townhouses will be so close to your neighbors that they may feel more comfortable knocking on your door for various reasons that can include borrowing food items, inviting you to try out their church or even coming to community events. While many of the reasons for visits may be nice gestures, they may also be things that make you uncomfortable when you suffer from agoraphobia. When you are in a place that's so close to your neighbors you will also hear a lot of noise from people walking by your windows and kids playing outside.

Make sure there are delivery services in the area

If you like to have a lot of things, such as food or groceries delivered to you then you should first make sure that these services are going to be made available to you before you commit to the house. Otherwise, you may find yourself in the position of being forced to go without or leaving the house no matter how difficult it may be for you to do.
