Another issue - check to see if the home you are considering was built before the road was paved (many roads here were dirt until 10 - 15 years ago) or, if it is on a dirt road, if it's on the list to be paved. If the house isn't elevated, raising the road bed for paving can cause major flooding issues when it rains. Case in point - the last little house on the right on Hilltop Road (we lived there as newlyweds) and the yellow house at the corner of Cabbage Rose Lane and East Point Washington Road.
