Hello everyone,

Since this is my first post in this forum, I would like to briefly introduce myself. My name is Alex, I am 29 years old, and my wife, my 17-month-old daughter, and I are currently planning to build a new single-family house.

We have been living since 2010 with my parents-in-law and brother-in-law in a multi-generational house (3 households) and for various reasons we urgently want to move out and start our own project... 🙂

In our village, a local residents’ scheme is currently being developed, and fortunately, we now have the opportunity to choose one of the five remaining plots of land. However, we are still unsure which one to pick. The problem is that we only have a short period to decide, as we don’t want or can’t keep the families ranked behind us waiting.

For this reason, I would be interested in your assessment. I will not reveal our preferred plots to avoid bias.

Plot 1: 517 m² (5570 sq ft)
Plot 2: 414 m² (4455 sq ft)
Plot 3: 527 m² (5675 sq ft)
Plot 4: 508 m² (5470 sq ft)
Plot 5: 501 m² (5395 sq ft)

I look forward to a lively exchange of opinions 🙂

Best regards

Alex

P.S. In case it matters, we plan to build a single-family house with about 140 - 150 m² (1500 - 1615 sq ft) of living space, plus a double garage, and possibly a basement.

According to a phone inquiry, this "green space" is not necessarily intended to become a playground, but rather a sort of youth center. I’m concerned that we might have to deal with noise disturbances here in the evenings and at night...

I would also choose 5, since with 1 there are roads on two sides. And teenagers aren’t there every day, right? Besides, it’s too cold in winter ;-)

I wouldn’t overestimate the youth center.

Tough decision, flip a coin 🙂. I think I would also go with 5.

I would also go with option no. 5.

The tip about flipping a coin is good! Maybe while it’s falling, you already have a preference for which side it will land on – then you choose the corresponding plot because you (subconsciously) like it better. Regardless of what the coin shows... ;-)
