I worked for over 30 years at 2 gas/electric utilities in IT. The high voltage lines don’t pose any hazards but they are really really ugly to look at and would not buy any house within eyesight of power lines. Our villages realtor took us to 2 really nice homes and they had power lines in their backyard and we didn’t get out of the car.
There are 100’s of other homes available for sale, why would you buy with power lines in sight, on a busy road, close to the interstate, or next to a smelly water plant.
