Water Heater Nightmares!

Hello everyone, This post isn’t as bad as the title seems. My husband and I are closing on a duplex in a few days, but I can’t stop thinking about the water heaters in each kitchen. The water heaters are located right where a dishwasher would be, flush with the cabinets. Is it worth relocating? Any alternatives? I couldn’t extend the countertops and install cabinets to cover the water heaters, they’re too tall. Suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

DO NOT  DO THE ATTIC .  Its too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter . And when something leaks it isnt pretty
