Property facts enriched via realestateapi · 9/29/2026
Physical conditions that affect value and rarely appear on a listing.
Active freight track. Noise, vibration and horn use at crossings — check where the nearest crossing is before assuming quiet.
1% annual chance flood (100-year), with a published base flood elevation. Insurance mandatory with a federally backed loan. Flood insurance will be required for a federally backed mortgage, which is a permanent cost on any resale and can exceed the payment on a low-value parcel.
Truck traffic and operating hours are the usual complaint.
Odour is prevailing-wind dependent and worst in summer.
Active freight track. Noise, vibration and horn use at crossings — check where the nearest crossing is before assuming quiet.
