Dead Neighbors Increase Property Value

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Triumph Property
It's true: if you live next to a cemetery, your property value is likely higher than it would be otherwise. Granted, living next to the dead may not be great for your social life, but there are several advantages:
1. You don't have to worry about another development project blocking your view or invading the space next to you.
2. Dead neighbors don't make noise, nor to they complain when you do.
3. People tend to be on their best behavior when near a cemetery. Statistics show that crime in the areas in and around cemeteries is lower than average.
4. Smell the roses: your dead friends almost always keep a nice, green area sprinkled with beautiful flowers. Even if they were trashy neighbors in life, their grave will likely be well-kempt by the city if not by loved ones.

So, if you're considering a property near the grave, rest in peace-- all in all, it's a pretty good deal.

Geeez.   I would have thought it was the exact opposite.  Cemetaries creep me out.
