Reply to comment by UltravioletClearance in Cheap house. Under 300k. You’re not a homeowner because you’re lazy…. by fuertepqek

Ugh, that's distressing to hear. Study I read said adverse effects up to 500 feet away. Hopefully the other houses and trees absorb some of the ill effects from my nearby highway.

Property values also go down significantly once you approach a highway too.

That's the double-edge to it, it's probably the only reason my house was affordable.

For residential, sure, but highway access for commercial property is usually an asset. In some places, like the South, many businesses purposely front all along the interstate for advertisement purposes.
