What No One Tells You About Living Near a School
Living near a school sounds like a dream—great walkability, strong resale value, and easy access for the kids. And honestly? Those are big advantages for many families.
But there’s one thing most people don’t mention:
The daily rhythm of school traffic.
-
🚗 Morning drop-offs and afternoon pick-ups can get a little hectic.
-
📚 You might hear school bells, announcements, or sports practice from your front yard.
-
🚌 Parking during big events? Forget it unless you’re walking.
-
🚧 And let’s not forget the buses and crossing guards at prime hours.
For some buyers, it’s no big deal. The convenience outweighs everything else.
But others end up wishing they’d chosen a home just a few streets further out.
This doesn’t mean you should avoid school-adjacent homes—it just means you need a plan.
