Re: house positioning 7Mar 03, 2010 7:34 pm glockenspiel Hi, I'm a first home buyer and very new to this so I'm sorry if my questions are silly. I've found a land that is affordable and is located in a nice residential area. However, the land is located at the end of a no-through road (a close) and with a small park right in front of it. In addition to that, there's a huge vacant area located on the right side of the land. So I imagine if I build a house there, it is going to be really dark at night and my house can also be seen as an easy target for thieves. So I'm now having a second thought and would really appreciate what you guys think of this? Do you think I'm over exaggerating here or should I just try to look for land with better position? Thank you. My 2 cents worth. I'm thinking that since you have asked this question that you already have had second thoughts about it. Go with your gut feeling. I built next to a park with a brush fence on the same side of the park. It looked good and was in a nice quiet area. Nothing happened while we lived there but I did often think about what if someone set fire to the fence, what if there was a party in the park that got out of control and they started throwing things etc etc. I have to admit that I would not do it again.

Large storage closet would be more functional. 2 6882 |
