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?

Very safe, nothing will happen there as long as we live We thought the same once. :p A few years later, we had a house five meters (16 feet) away and a carport two meters (6.5 feet) away in front of our living room window. If it’s not a protected landscape area and the local authorities enforce strict building regulations (building permit / planning permission), I wouldn’t rely on it. New development areas often tend to expand.

Hello everyone,
We are currently focusing a lot on the topic of searching for a plot of land. Two new residential areas are being developed near us right now. I’ll call them “lower” and “upper” to avoid confusion 😉
Plot A:
- quiet location
- completely flat/level
- very pleasant atmosphere due to a small river and bike path
- generally lower price per square meter
- neighbors on all sides (see picture)
- uncertain due to sunlight exposure and possible shading?
Plot B:
- slight slope (additional costs due to leveling, etc.)
- no neighbors behind or on the right side
- unobstructed southwest-facing view
- possible odors / farming activities because we are directly next to the field
- possibly higher price per square meter
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 there is great. However, we are worried about sunlight, as we fear getting little sun because of the other houses. What do you think? Here is the image again with the same orientation as plot A

Unsure because of sunlight exposure and possible shading?How large are the plots? What are the allowed dimensions for the house?Lenalele schrieb:
Possibly odor / construction work because we are located directly next to the fieldOops? You probably shouldn’t mind… the entire area will occasionally smell of manure…ypg schrieb:
If you sketch both plots aligned exactly to their current orientation, including the access road, and upload it, you’d probably get better help 😉 I just added it. Our main concern is that we had a really bad experience with the city before, where our apartment was completely dark. We definitely want to avoid that this time. We’re worried that with option A, we might lose too much sunlight because of the orientation and the surrounding houses. Is this concern realistic, or are we overthinking it?

Oops? There shouldn’t be any problem with that... the whole area will occasionally smell like manure...The plots are all around 800 sq m (8600 sq ft).
