So you’re thinking about buying a home in Fall River real estate. You surf the net for information on public schools and other city data, plan a Saturday to do some drive-through home shopping, and wonder what else you can do before choosing a Fall River real estate agent. And if you already have one, you’re twiddling your thumbs and wondering what else you can do to accelerate the home-buying process. Here are a few ways you can get to know Fall River or any other city or town.

1. Get the scoop! Topix.com and WickedLocal.com are two websites which collect headlines about specific towns and cities from multiple publications. Local news websites are also great for community information such as local sports, coverage of special town events, and town politics. For Fall River local news, try SouthCoastToday.com and HeraldNews.com.

2. Follow your town on Twitter. Most towns lack the time and resources to maintain a Twitter account (with the exception being the town of Madison, Connecticut at Twitter.com/InsideMadison). However, Twitter is a wealth of insider information that is just too valuable to ignore. So how can you “Follow” a town if it doesn’t have a Twitter account? TweetMeme.com is a great way to follow users who mention a town like Fall River in their Tweets. Simply search the name of the town you’re interested in, and read the latest headlines, thoughts, and musings about that town.

By searching for your town, you can browse thousands of photographs taken by Flickr users. Maybe you’ll stumble across a park you never knew about or a cool piece of public art!

4. Watch a movie. Forget YouTube — Vimeo.com is the best new place on the web for high-quality videos. A search for “Newton MA” will show you videos that zero in on scenes at local Newton parks, Newton politics, and even clips of the Boston Marathon!

Needham Community Farm

Newton and Needham are two towns in the MetroWest Boston area that operate community farms which are closely tied to their school systems. Browsing for homes in Newton MA and homes in Needham MA will not leave you questioning the future quality of your child’s education. MetroWest Boston has long tempted home-buyers with some of the best schools in Massachusetts, which fairly recently have become supplemented by the “outdoor classrooms” that are a part of their community farms.

The Needham Community Farm was organized by the town to carry out a mission of providing hands-on environmental education for elementary school students, with a focus on teaching organic farming methods and sustainable living practices. As an “outdoor classroom” in front of the Newman Elementary School, the farm helps the Needham school system incorporate environmental education and sustainability into everyday curriculum. Students grow seedlings in the classroom and then plant in the garden, participating in the entire crop cultivating process.  Along with accomplishing educational goals, the farm has been so successful that it has been able to donate fresh produce to a local food pantry. The farm’s committee is in the process of securing another plot of land to be used as a community garden for all residents, with bigger plans for teaching sustainability through water collection, composting, solar greenhouses, and classes for adults.

Perhaps Needham is modeling its new community garden on its neighboring Newton Community Farm. Families, and couples planning to start a family, have long been drawn to real estate in Newton MA because of the town’s top-quality public schools. The Newton Community Farm is another benefit of relocating to Newton MA. Residents can assist farm staff in performing daily farming operations which are always sustainable in nature. The farm also runs classes and workshops for all ages such as “All You Ever Wanted to Know about Apples,” as well as special youth programs, and a school outreach program where groups are invited to visit the farm for hands-on learning. While the farm sells its produce to the public, a portion of each harvest is donated to a local food pantry.
