What percentage of landings happen off the airstrip? That % of landings

I think houses off the approach and departure ends are a much worse
idea.
If you have such a bad wind/landing that you are going to hit my house
110' off the center line either you are planting a really large aircraft
on 3,000' of grass or you need some serious recurrent training.

I agree, and might add that 110' from the centerline is pretty generous
compared to some of the residential airparks that I have visited. OTOH,
all
that open space does give you that panoramic view you bought it for.

Which makes people crowd their homes to the strip. That I can understand
when first and second tier homes have obstructed views in most (near)
beach
residential developments. Not so "on the strip".

I don't know what that means but the facts are that beachfront property
and oceanview property can be as much as 2-5x different in price.
Typically, ocean view is never much more than the first or second tier
of houses facing the beach on the waterside of the road.

You get further away, either you are across the road (traffic) or you
can't see the ocean. On an airstrip, you can be 100 meters or so and see
it just fine.
