The surrounding environment greatly affects values and quality of life
When buying a house, many people often pay attention to price, design or traffic location, but the surrounding environment is also a very important factor. According to studies on urban planning, living areas can directly affect health, psychology and real estate value in the long term.
Mr. Joey Yap, a feng shui expert and founder of the Mastery Academy of Chinese Metaphysics, believes that the location of the house can significantly affect the quality of life. According to him, areas with polluted environments, loud noise or unstable energy often make residents feel stressed and difficult to maintain comfort in daily life.
He also recommends that buyers carefully survey the surrounding area before deciding, especially within a radius of about 1km from the house's location. Observing traffic activities, polluting sources or special structures will help accurately assess the living environment.
5 locations to avoid
First, landfills and waste treatment plants. These areas often generate odors, exhaust fumes and leachate during operation. In addition, continuous operation of garbage trucks also causes noise and environmental pollution.
Second, heavy industrial parks and chemical plants. Production activities can generate fine dust, emissions or heavy metals. In addition, the large number of trucks entering and leaving the industrial park also makes traffic complicated and potentially unsafe.
Third, viaducts, railways and airports. Large transportation projects create continuous noise from vehicles, trains or aircraft taking off and landing, which can affect residents' sleep and daily life.
Fourth, funeral home, crematorium and cemetery. In addition to psychological and cultural factors, cremation facilities can also generate emissions if the treatment system is not guaranteed.
Fifth, transformer stations and signal towers. These works emit electromagnetic fields during operation. Although most are within safety limits according to technical standards, many people are still hesitant to live too close, causing real estate values to easily decrease.
Buying a house is not only a place to live but also a long-term investment. Therefore, buyers need to carefully consider environmental factors to avoid risks that may affect health and asset value in the future.
