In the new sections there are a lot of power lines. The cut a huge swath thought the villages. Some of the best houses with the best views lots in, for example, Water's Edge, have power lines in them.

I think most real estate agents will tell you, that power lines are, on balance, a negative for resale, if they are in view.

However if you totally rule out power lines, you will miss out on some great houses that you might really like. I would buy a house with power lines, and have done so. Its a slight negative, but not a deal killer.
