Should I buy a house across the street from an elementary school?
I'm considering purchasing a duplex...good neighborhood, nice property, but I'm hesitant because it's right across the street from an elementary school. I would be living in one unit and renting the other. I imagine that the traffic and noise at certain times of the day may be a nuisance. Anyone have any experience/advice on the situation? Any other pros or cons with living across from a school?

Seems like an idea spot for a rental. It's only busy at 8am and 3pm. If it's a good school it's a huge selling point for a parent to be able to watch their child all the way to the front door of school
