[quote=sdrealtor]Living next to a school, any school is always an issue. How close and what it over looks at the school are important also. Traffic at pick up and drop off is a big deal. Some wont mind but most will which ultimately decreases demand for the home and hence value. In a great sellers market (like now and the peak bubble years) it doesnt make much of a difference but if buyers have other choices they will go elsewhere.
A smart seller will sell such a home in Summer when kids are out of school and you cant see the real impact. If I was going to buy one next to a school I would want to do it during the school year to see the real impact as the mind can tend to minimize what the impact would be. If I was your agent I would try to talk you out of it. I would think that would be worth a discount of 10% perhaps more. Personally that isnt something I would put up with at any price but everyone feels differently.[/quote]
SDR… what would you rate for this house price being a great agent and a realtor what is your suggestion on this house?(though it is listed a very high as starting price). Keeping in view of 4S Ranch many houses at 630 to 640K level listings about 3000SFT. This house is very adjacent to school ground not even far as per look.

August 7, 2009 at 9:08 AM #442185smshorttimerParticipant[quote=uneven]I lived across from an elementary school in San Jose for 7 years and I loved it. No house/cluttered garage across the street to look at and no cars on the streets in the evenings or weekends. Worked out like having a private park with play ground etc. Morning traffic was a little tight, but I went into work late, after drop offs were done, so it wasn’t an issue for me.
I would have been much more hesitant with a HS though. More chance for vandalism, noise, dances etc. Most of my friends would say “it’d be great to live across from an elementary school, wouldn’t live near a high school though” for whatever that’s worth. I’d guess resale will be lower if you are in the walking path of high school kids. Just my 2 cents.[/quote]
We looked at a place next to Mission Hills in San Marcos. No way, I thought, do I want smoking teenagers loitering around my house — albeit the house was next to the ballfields area of the campus away from Mission Avenue and the student parking lot. An adjacent elementary school doesn’t alarm me as much.

August 7, 2009 at 9:16 AM #442782briansd1GuestI would not live next to a high school or where other people’s little brats play. Teenagers are very insolent these days. They don’t any respect for other people.
