You are right, selling could be a major problem. Had a friend who bought a brand new home by the villages high school. Was very much aware of the school, didn't consider it a problem and didn't have any desire to be far from young people, nothing like that. Even stayed in a rental villa near where they bought "just to make sure what everyday life would be, noise, proximity to groceries, to church, etc." THEN once the permanent move was made..... NO WAY did they think about the huge stadium lights, the roars and cheers for the sports (and they LOVE sports, but no amount of window closing our TV turn ups, can drown out the experience of living in the middle of a stadium...it was VERY tough but an agency finally got it sold to (probably ?) someone else who thought they would be fine living by a high school but never REALLY thought about what life would be like during football, baseball, track, etc. etc. seasons. Sometimes even people who do try to be cautious, get caught off guard.... Like another friend whose yard is RIGHT next to a pickleball court, I mean RIGHT adjoining. TRY to sell that for what they paid. Eventually yes, after many years to get enough appreciation and before depreciation set in, they did move to another local in the V's, but NOT next to a rec center and neighborhood pool ! It happens.
