Site & surroundings

Physical conditions that affect value and rarely appear on a listing.

• Evergy157 ft from parcel centre

  Where a line crosses a parcel there is usually a recorded easement restricting what can be built under it — check the deed, not the map.

• Correctional or waste facility0.3 mi from parcel centre

  Persistent effect on the buyer pool regardless of any measurable nuisance.

• Kansas Sand Plant #10.9 mi from parcel centre

  Blasting schedules and heavy haulage on local roads.

• Shawnee County Department of Corrections0.9 mi from parcel centre

  Persistent effect on the buyer pool regardless of any measurable nuisance.

• 25% of homes vacant year-round in Census Tract 6

  280 of 1,124 units sit empty outside seasonal use. High vacancy is an exit-risk signal rather than a price signal — the question is whether there is a buyer at any price, not what the price is.

• 4th & Van Buren Substation0.5 mi from parcel centre

  Transformer hum, and a persistent resale objection whatever the engineering says.

• Industrial land0.6 mi from parcel centre

  Truck traffic and operating hours are the usual complaint.

Context

• Elevation 913 ft

  Ground elevation at the parcel. Compare with the FEMA base flood elevation where one is published.

• 47% owner-occupied

  Renters are the majority here. A retail resale is possible but the investor bid is what sets the floor.

• FEMA flood zone X

  Outside the 1% annual chance floodplain.

• Tract median home value $79,700

  Self-reported median across the whole tract — context for whether a number is plausible, not a comparable and never a bid input.

• Median household income $40,778

  Tract median household income. Sets what a local buyer can finance.

• Cair Paravel Latin School719 ft from parcel centre

  Catchment is set by district boundary, not by distance.

Proximity is measured from the parcel’s recorded location, which for most parcels is an assessor centroid rather than a boundary — treat these as figures to verify on a site visit, not as survey distances.
