Hello,
perhaps some of you have experience with this.
Unfortunately, we did not get our desired plot in a newly developed residential area. As an alternative, we were offered a plot next to the railway tracks.
A noise barrier wall (4 m high) will be built. The distance from the plot to the noise barrier is about 20 m (65 feet).
We were told that the first row of houses will be quieter than the ones behind it. Somehow, I find it hard to believe that. Also, I think vibrations will be noticeable.
Only a tram will run on these tracks. No freight trains or high-speed trains will operate on this route.
Does anyone have experience with this?

This issue applies to EVERYONE who bought inexpensive plots (for example, in rural areas). The low price is because no one wants to live there. Selling is difficult even with a prime location in the middle of nowhere. I always say that expensive plots have more advantages than disadvantages. The high purchase price also reflects something valuable; otherwise, no one would buy it. A high purchase price basically guarantees resale value (unless you really mess it up).

And a prime location is nice and all, but it’s usually not very quiet there.

And prime location is all well and good – but it usually isn’t quiet there. All the years you live there, you already have the advantage of living where everyone wants to live (which is why the price is so high). And selling the property is usually going to happen at some point, whether directly or indirectly. Ultimately, owning your home is a form of retirement planning, so you don’t have to rely on your children later on.
