ᐅ Building in a new residential development when there are social housing units nearby?

This is about buying a house that is currently being built in a large new development area. Several dozen houses are already completed and occupied. Surrounding this area are many old, dilapidated large social housing blocks and terraced houses. The gardens of the new homes and the social housing are only a few meters apart, mostly separated by tall trees. The view of my garden would therefore be largely blocked, and I could also install a 1.80-meter (6-foot) fence. However, there are quite a few non-locals living nearby, to put it politely.
My goal is not necessarily to walk around alone at night but rather to usually drive by car to nearby towns. For shopping during the day, the local area is sufficient. The house (semi-detached) under construction is, in that respect, perfect, and the price is good. Would you dare to move there, or would that be a deal-breaker for you? On the other hand, since dozens of new houses there are already occupied, it probably can’t be that bad... I’m conflicted...

The urban areas in western Germany have become the disproportionate hubs for our guests. How can anyone be so xenophobic and racist?

It depends on the overall situation, but from what you write, I can already sense skepticism and discomfort – so I would rather advise against it.
Do you never go outside for a walk? Do you have or plan to have children who want to go outside or attend school or kindergarten there?
Especially if you already get that feeling during viewings, it will probably not get better once you live there permanently.

Right around this area, there are many old, rundown large social housing blocks/terraced houses, located between the garden areas of the new developments What exactly do you mean by that? Terraced houses are quite standard, and social housing isn’t inherently negative – I actually see affordable housing as something positive. My grandmother happily lived in such housing for decades; nowadays, with gentrification, neighborhoods around social housing have absurdly high rents, so I think 11ant hits the nail on the head.
On the other hand, I believe it’s important to feel comfortable in your neighborhood. Everyone experiences that subjectively. For example, I would never move to a place where neighbors give you weird looks because you’re not from the area, or where you can’t understand anyone because you speak standard German and don’t understand the regional dialect.

What’s your impression of the place? Like, if you actually walk around there during the day? (Even if you’re feeling overly skeptical, maybe go with someone else?) Have you talked to any neighbors? I would recommend that too. Just take a walk around the area and strike up conversations. That makes sense anyway, to get a feel for other things on site: noise from traffic and such, walking distance to key shops, local public transport schedules, and so on.

The urban areas in western Germany have simply become the disproportionate gathering points for our guests. How can anyone be so xenophobic and racist? In your worldview, are "Assis" always foreigners? That’s how your sentence and your posts always sound.

Price as well.Is the price “perfect” because of the surrounding area?May I ask about your family situation? Sometimes women or families with children reject certain living environments that might be perfectly fine for a man without children.
How many meters (feet) are there between your front door and the entrance of the nearest social housing building?
Do you already live with a dog, or are you planning to bring a dog into your life?
