Quick Survey: Would you buy a house next to a cemetery?

[ruthabagah]

I guess I cannot find the poll buttons

So: a nice house (4500sqft), semi custom, no direct neighbors on 3 sides, the 4th side is a quiet street. Problem: you are surrounded by a cemetery (looks more like a park really)... But it give you an amazing unobstructed view of the mountains.

Would you buy it? I am about to, but the wife think we'll never be able to resell it when we decide to downsize 10 years from now.

I say go for it. At least you know that your neighbors will be quiet.

At least it would be quiet. Still everyone is dying to get in.

That's a big fuck yes

[Zach O]

Absolutely. You could get your wife fresh flowers every day!

Absolutely.
1) You have your own private running path that is privately maintained at no cost to you.
2) Tell your wife with a straight face that if she keeps it up and she won't have to worry about resale as she'll already be living next door.

Absolutely as well.
That is a huge house, btw. No neighbors on 3 sides and a quiet street? I would run, not walk, to put the offer in.

This. I've ridden a lot of miles in Mt Olivet just trying to get cornering down for crit season.
And this is something I've thought a lot about as well. It is so hard to permit bike races. They really should run circuits or crits in the bigger cemetaries.
If the afterlife is like the "Our Town" play, I'd love to sit and watch.
If it is my family member, I like that there is some amount of activity that happens every now and again. I've never gotten the sense that anyone visiting thought I was doing anything disrespectful.

Lol: You guys are funny!
