Episode 52: Back To School: Pros and Cons Of Living Next To A School


Do you dream of walking your little ones to school each morning? Living conveniently close to your children's schools may sound incredible. But, there are a few things to consider when choosing just how close you really want to be.

Here are the PROS and CONS of living near a school.

Pros

  1. Easy access to school day to day

  2. Easy to be involved in after school activities

  3. Easy access to the fields/parks

  4. Well maintained roads (most likely)

  5. Often watched over by Sherriffs

  6. Increased property value if in a great school district and spot

“Property values do differ for college only because college towns tend to be a little less income area. So potentially the income in that area is lesser because it's mainly made up of students who are not yet making a ton of money.

-Lori Alvarez

Cons

  1. Traffic and pedestrian traffic

  2. Noise pollution (students/bells/sports/etc.)

  3. Air pollution from high traffic

  4. People may walk through your front yard a lot

  5. Potential damage to your property from by-goers
