Families typically like to live near quality schools.
If the buyer doesn't mind the sounds and it's a good school it could help the sale. Chances are, the school grounds are busy most often when you or a subsequent buyer will be at work and empty when you are home. The homes are about 45 minutes apart. I need to close on my current home to get the down payment for the new home. This doesn't leave any time to move our stuff from one place to another.
