Airparks; Living On The Beaten Path?

Most houses are closer to the street than any runway is to any house.

Then there are trains and train tracks but two things differ. 1) People, right or wrong, don't view the danger the same 2) You can invest a potload of money into an airpark house and because of perceptions alone, your resale market gets smaller and smaller. So you've changed your whole argument to perceived dangers now? If that's the case then I'll opt out of this conversation. When I posted my reply you were stating the case that there was a real danger. |

So you've changed your whole argument to perceived dangers now? I took your lead "houses...closer..street..etc. The dangers are both real and perceived regardless. If that's the case then I'll opt out of this conversation. When I posted my reply you were stating the case that there was a real danger. There is a real danger. If you care to deny the fact that there is a history of loss of life, physical destruction to property in airparks, then you had best opt out. I certainly have no more use to discuss this with you if you're position so flagrantly flies in the face of reality. |

A GA airport does not negatively affect real estate values. Never said that. I said the market for resale is significantly affected by perceptions which reduce the number of people who would be interested in purchasing in an airpark. I would particularly point to the Captiva example. it's an absolutely gorgeous place...with a limited market. Resales there take loads of time, one reason is the perception of living near an airstrip. Here at Spruce Creek we have some of the highest-priced homes in the county (near Daytona Beach). There are $10M homse on Captiva. The price of the home means nothing in terms of what I said, MOF, the higher the price of the home, including airstrip, further limits the resale market. These are not speculations, they are mathematical and historical facts. |
