[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted earlier about air quality...

No one wants to live next to a teardown or huge reno project on a tight  lot or attached housing.  That to be blunt would suck.

When househunting years ago there were places where I was clueless on my location.  I assume many people posting have no idea exactly what is Mclean and what is great falls when on certain roads.

Of course they would like living next to a teardown, if the project were confirmation of how valuable their own property had become, the new house was an improvement over the house it replaced, and/or they liked the new house.  Of course, construction is noisy, whether it's a teardown or new construction.  But it usually takes a finite period of time.  [/quote]

Disagree.  No one wants to be the nice house next to the crap house.  But, in GF, it doesn't matter as much as say McLean, because in GF the lots are so much bigger.  You don't live in GF to mind your neighbor's business. [/quote]

I was reading "teardown" to refer to an older home that was already in the process of being torn down or was being marketed as such.  [b]And it's just fine to be in a nice house near an older, less expensive home if your neighbors are nice people who maintain their property. [/b] If the location is right, a newer house will go up eventually in due course.

Of course, people who can't deal with neighbors would be better off living on multi-acre lots where they never see them. [/quote]

A rather enormous "if", no??!!  [/quote]

In our experience, no.  But, of course, YMMV (and we looked at the condition of the neighboring properties before we bought a new house in our neighborhood). [/quote]
