QLD Property with back fence shared with primary school, considerations?

It shares it with the oval / playground, not the main school area (don't think I'd even consider it if the main part of the school was right behind).

Is there anything to consider here that I might not have thought of? I figured there shouldn't be anything but I thought I'd put it out there just in case.

 

Sound of bell, loudspeaker. If very close, the sound of kids playing loudly.

I live about 400m from a primary school and can hear the school's loud speaker broadcasting announcements if I am home during the day (and the wind is in the right direction...)

 

Saturday sports?
No excuse for kids to be late.

 

Just toss em over the fence......same for getting to school, and no good doing fake sickies.....

 

It will be very quiet at night and many weeks a year but when school is in general noise at recess, lunch and before and after school, bell and announcements. Loads of balls in the yard. Is yard used for cricket ? If you have a dog they could feed it and kill it with love (or wrong food).

Is it a state or private school - Private school esp high may have outside hours activities etc. Parking ?? - School zones are notoriously expensive if you leave car on street.

Question - Can they build on the fenceline ? How would a high wall look ?

 

The noise can be an issue, as can be access during drop-off and pick-up. Depending on the exact location along the oval, the kids can also interfere with the tenants and backyard.

It's generally more of a negative than a positive (build that into the price paid), but there are a few extra considerations specific to the exact property. Build a nice tall fence and market to the school in January, pick up a nuclear family who love that they don't have to do a school drop off and you've got a winner!
