It's a fact: homes near good schools cost more than homes near not-so-good ones.  If you have children, you want them to be in the best possible schools.

What if you don't have kids in school? Should you check out the schools in the area before you buy a home? If your plan is to never sell the house, you can probably get more house for the money in an area of not-so-good schools. 

Never say never.  Since your home's resale value will be influenced by the schools, it's wise to evaluate the schools going in.
