What do people think about buying a house next to a park?
I ran a search for the same question and came up with one thread from about 4 years ago.
The particular park I am talking about, has no toilets, no play equipment and only has a concrete path through it with a picnic table, which I don't believe anyone uses. From what I can gather by talking to people in the area is the park is only really used as a thoroughfare for people doing afternoon exercise and there isn't that many people using it. The park size is 1.2 acres and doesn't have many trees in it. There are a lot of other much larger parks in the area which I gather people use to kick a football around or other mucking around in. In fact there is a 5 acre park across the road from the one I describe.
The downsides I can think of are thiefs possibly getting easy access to the property, but it is a very open park, so the chance of being seen would be high, except at night of course. Another negative might be that it would limit potential buyers for the same reasons that people classically think of about living next to a park.
One positive I know of is you will never have to worry about neighbour problems on that side.
Can anyone think of any other issues good or bad that could be encountered by buying next to a park?
