Is the Property Close to a Noisy Influence Such as an Airport or Main Highway?

Airports and air traffic can really cause a disruption to your daily living, making you lose out on sleep, peace of mind and your property resale value because noisy places just tend to get noisier with time. Airports get bigger, shopping areas get more popular and highways get more congested. Make sure you ask about any noise complaints from the neighbors before buying a new home; they will be more honest with you than the realtor or people selling the home.

Is Your Potential New Home Close to a Local Transit System or Proposed Local Transit System?

If you answered yes to this question, that is very good. Local transit severely boosts the value of your property and opens up access to many different things for you and your family.

Does This Neighborhood Have a Poor or Less Than Favorable Reputation?

If you answered yes to this question, that is very bad.

Also, if the neighborhood does have a bad reputation, it might not always be this way as violent crime and house break-ins are becoming less common across the country and the neighborhood might have a positive reputation by the time you are ready to sell.
