Yeah, and these features are easier to track than the interior of the house. As an aside, I've often been surprised how little some of these features get value

Yeah, and these features are easier to track than the interior of the house. As an aside, I've often been surprised how little some of these features get valued. For instance, I've looked at neighborhoods where one side of the street backs to other houses and the other side backs to parkland. The nicer side is generally more expensive, but it's not a huge effect, and often homes on the bad side go for more money (because of the building itself).
