Hello everyone,
We are currently focusing heavily on searching for a plot of land. Two new residential areas are being developed nearby. I refer to them as "lower" and "upper" so you don’t get confused 😉
Plot A:
- quiet location
- all flat and level
- very nice atmosphere due to a small river and bike path
- generally lower price per square meter (sq m)
- neighbors on all sides (see image)
- uncertain regarding sunlight exposure and possible shading?
Plot B:
- slight slope (additional costs due to leveling, etc.)
- no neighbors at the back or on the right side
- unobstructed southwest-facing view
- possible odor / farming activities as we are right next to a field
- possibly higher price per square meter (sq m)
Both plots have pros and cons... we are really unsure. The lower plot has a very nice location since it is flat and quiet. The feeling is very pleasant. However, we are concerned about sunlight exposure, as we fear we might get little sun due to the neighboring houses. What do you think?

The river is naturally idyllic, but are you considering the flood risk? Some plots weren’t developed for good reasons in the past.
The bike path is nice, but it can become annoying over time. Skaters, dog walkers, and groups wanting to "enjoy" the river who might grill there without permission, etc.

Yes, we are sufficiently elevated. The issue for us is sunlight exposure, as I am concerned it could get very dark. We are in a rural area, so the bike path is less busy.
