You shouldn’t care about whether or not what other people think. If it bothers you, it bothers you.
Me? It depends on how far the power lines are away. I’m not a big fan of sloped hills, especially if the hill is sloping inward toward the house, but that’s just me.
Personally, if spending an extra $50k gets you a better location and better spot, I’d do it. I wouldn’t get the best one, I’d trade off a home in a better location versus one that is more upgraded… But that’s just me.

February 14, 2011 at 2:06 PM #666236xtinaParticipantI have to agree with flu on this one.
Location will not change. That hill isn’t going away. Those powerlines are not going away. For myself, $50k more is worth the prime location. If I like the community and I can afford $50k more, I would do it.
Floor plan and lighting are cosmetic.
Personally, I would be okay with lightly visible power lines (are they far away?), but I know it will be a deterrent for future buyers.
If you like it, you like it, even with its flaws. Someone else will love it equally when you are ready to sell!

We may never know for sure in our lifetime whether power lines effect us, but the truth is that power lines within a couple hundred feet is certainly something that may detract future buyers. Personally I hate power lines as it’s just a eye sore when they are close. Since I don’t really know the health hazards and may never know, I prefer to stay away. I have two little ones, so I probably think a little differently. Good luck!
