Would you buy a house next to a school?
Re: Would you buy a house next to a school?
We live 2 blocks from an elementary school. The traffic is bad in the AM and as others have noted, there are sports at the field in the afternoons, as well as PTA meetings in the evenings. Overflow parking is up and down the street. Luckily, we are just beyond that. I wouldn't buy within that 1 block radius.

pretty much my experience (except the whole having kids part).matt.wu wrote:You forgot to ask if they would even let you live that close to a school...
I live about two blocks from my local elementary school (and not on the main street), which is perfect for me. We miss most of the heavy street traffic and are far enough away so that we can't hear even a little sound from the school, but we will have a short walk to school when my kid starts Kindergarten. We are able to walk and take advantage of the facilities when we want, and the streets are often well-kept and safe.
So I don't think I'd want my backyard backed up against the school, but I don't mind living close to a school.

my wife may disagree with that.

Nope. Same for churches and power lines.

We use to live near a school a few years ago and it was not a great experience.

I wouldn't live next door to a school. Traffic is a nightmare twice a day and there is the noise at lunchtime.
Depending on the school there might be adult night classes so traffic and parking will be bad in the evenings too.

2 blocks away yes,
right next to school, no way.

It’s actually pronounced "I lean..." (sorry Matt, I couldn’t resist the straight line!)
So... Stewart... where did you end up living, anyways?

Re: Would you buy a house next to a school?
I love being next to a school. easy on my child and really I am at work during the day so I don't hear anything anyway. Mind you Canada is a lot different than the states.
