I'll tell her to look at the ENTIRE community for location, location, location. Thanks for pointing this out. We couldn't figure this out ourselves. Nice to have someone teaching us amateurs.

If you are thinking about buying your forever home near a square, be warned. You may be surrounded by rentals and neighbors who have no plans on staying. When they leave, another rental may be added to your neighborhood. AirBnB owners snatch as many homes near the squares that they can get their hands on.

So which is it?

Are all homes locations "identical" or are homes near Squares more desirable or "better for appreciation"? Or does it depend on what day it is?

I probably should have used the word, "non-professionals" or "less savvy", perhaps?
