FAQs
How do steep lots impact value?
Slope affects parking, access, and drainage—price and inspections should reflect that.
Is rail proximity always a plus?
Often, but check street noise and pedestrian flow on a block-by-block basis.
Do older homes scare lenders?
Not if maintained—have system updates and permits ready to inspire confidence.
