Airparks; Living On The Beaten Path?

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.

Utter nonsense! A GA airport does not negatively affect real estate
values.

Here at Spruce Creek we have some of the highest-priced homes in the
county (near Daytona Beach).

Soon you will see that things are not as they appear, for you are
expecting a conversation, when in fact you debate with MXJunior...

Utter nonsense! A GA airport does not hurt real estate prices.

Spruce Creek (with 600 airplanes resident) has some of the highest real
estate prices in the Daytona Beach area.

I'd pay more to live near one.


BTW, have you ever seen a Rocket on floats?

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

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.

Yes -- I have an original copy of the Popular Mechanics magazine that
shows an illustration on the cover (no story inside, however). I
seriously doubt that they ever tried that one, however! There wou;ld be
too many compromises to make it work well.

Like every week there's some broadcast form a local airpark - "Oh the
humanity!!!!"

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.

I saw a photograph of one on an old air trails or something. At least I
think it was a photo. I'll see if I can find it and post it somewhere.
