ᐅ Selecting a Plot of Land – The Challenge of Choice

Hello everyone,

A new residential development is being opened up in our area.

The allocation will be done by lottery, and you can apply for up to three plots.

Which ones would you choose?

A small note: the plan is oriented to true north. A tram line runs along the west side of the development, and there are already buildings to the northeast. To the south, there is a nature reserve.

I look forward to seeing your selections.

Plot plan: residential area with yellow-marked parcels, numbers 1–32, size details on the right.

Off topic: We bought an existing property from 1920, so back then, the expectations for plot sizes were different anyway. But 279 sqm (3000 sq ft) – I find that almost outrageous from those responsible for the subdivision.

Regardless, I would find option 1 interesting, even though the shape isn’t rectangular – but it only has two neighbors. With options 5 + 6, too much area would be lost to the access road, which you still have to pay for. Plus, you get little of the western sun, which is very valuable in the evening!

Thank you for the feedback.

Our favorite is number 14. Only one neighbor and a bit more plot area.

I think I would have preferred option 1 as well. I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Number 1 has too many neighbors for us.

What kind of new housing development is this where you have the full wish list to choose from? – I have never read about anything like this here before.
