Here is my assessment on the location:
PROS:
- View of NYC from third floor.
- Near site of potential park.
- No neighbors nearby if that is your thing.
- Owner probably got the property at a steal.
CONS:
- By a viaduct.
- Little privacy.
- By train racks.
- Crappy roads to the house.
- Traffic and noise.
- Pollution.
- Garbage strewn about in surrounding area.
- Irate taxpayers could demand 30 foot fence put up to obstruct view of potential park from house. :)
