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?

Yes, we are high enough. The issue for us is the sunlight because I’m worried it could get very dark. We are in a rural area, so the bike path is less busy. Your main concern seems to be the shadow cast by neighboring buildings. To get a clear idea, you would need to know the plot sizes and what building heights are allowed in the zoning plan or development regulations. Then you could consider worst-case scenarios—such as garages built right on the property lines. Without that information, no one can give you a definite answer.
