Wondering if there are any specific places you would AVOID buying a home due to issues with location. For example flooding/water runoff, air pollution, sink hole repairs (I know you can't predict them) or even insects? Wondering what it's like to live near some of the lakes/swamps/bodies of water for mosquitoes or other bugs?

Thanks!
In my opinion, the things you mentioned are not very significant. If you can afford it, I would by a house with a nice view. It will always be easy to sell. Also, avoid houses that are near a road with traffic noise. The turnpike is the worst, but many of the interior roads should also be avoided.
