Looking to buy within the next year and have questions about the topography in TV as a consideration.
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! |

Stay away from the waste treatment plants.

Be careful in the new area as it is next to the turnpike and a quarry that blasts a couple of times a week.

What is a problem for one person, may not be a problem for you. Many rent before buying. We took 3 years before we bought.

Quarry blasts are once a month. Areas directly next to the turnpike can be noisy but the majority of the areas south of 44 cannot hear the turnpike at all.

When we bought we wanted new and to be connected by cart paths so we bought a new Villa way up north. Had looked at designer homes but decided we did not want to be slaves to a big house in retirement. The Villa is great size, great privacy and perfect for us. We can hear the train which we love. The important this was to be able to get to the centers. Now that the bridges are opening it is not as important. The one place we did avoid is the historic section, nothing wrong just not our cup of tea.

Only a very small percentage of the "new areas" are near the turnpike and quarry.

Plenty of places to rent. Stay in different locations, travel around, and make your own decision.
For my two cents, as advised, avoid water treatment areas, and I would make sure any location I fancied was not on a through route for either car or cart. The rest is personal preference. |
