Property street location advice

[PaulF]

Hey guys,
what would you think of the location of this property please ?
Do you see it as an issue being surrounded by this many neighbours?!
The street in front of the property connecting it to the cul de sac at the bottom is only a walkway and no cars can get through there.

Just wondering if you find the location disadvantageous as i do!

Cheers

This block has only 4 neighbours.

Most properties have at least 3, so there is not much difference.

BTW we have 4 neighbours, one each side, and at the back there are 2, one for only around 2m. Never thought it was an issue.

As long as your fences are good ,and high, it should be fine.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Looks like a pretty standard neighbourhood to me

It's in a cul-de-sac which should be good as they're be less traffic but that also means there may be parking issues. I'd make sure there is off street parking with the property.

Not sure which suburb this is in, some courts like this can feature nothing but apartment blocks. If it is mainly apartment blocks I'd stay clear. If it's predominantly houses then it looks fine. Just be aware of over-looking and security issues that can be present with more shared boundaries.

To play devils' advocate:

Beware of the possibility of car headlights shining through windows at night.

It may be bad feng shui that the house would be run into by a car going straight and not turning in time.

Walkways abutting a boundary. People could drop rubbish over the fence. And burglars could peer over.

Having said all that I know of IPs in somewhat similar positions and they've rented fine.

Thanks very much again everyone. Here's the actual property ad:

The property has been on and off the market for quiet some time now so i'm a bit confused on why it's not selling! Easement on the side of the street(drainage and sewerage that benefits the rest of the whole street), it's location(too many boundaries), too high of an asking price... !?

Thanks again.

Doesn't say a price there. 4BR houses in Hadfield can range from say ~$500k - $700k depending on the usual factors.

Could be many reasons why it's not selling but the most common reason is an unrealistic vendor.

Thanks again Jake. It does seem like a case of unrealistic vendor after doing some research on the property...
