Design Equity Part 7: Lot vs Location

Agents always say “Location, Location, Location” when selecting a property. We like to think that “Location, Location, Location” has many nuances:

-Consider the sun’s travel path over and around the property. Does the sun hit the rear yard in the morning or afternoon? Does the sun only hit the front yard?

-Are there any site features that make the site special such as a great specimen tree or a view that can be taken advantage of?

-Surrounding buildings: is a two-story home blocking all the sun, leaving you with shade year-round?

-Maybe that same two-story house has windows into your backyard leaving you with little privacy.
