If you’ve ever had the pleasure of living in close proximity to a large river or lake, you know that one of the few drawbacks is having to cross to the other side.
Not only is this trip time consuming, but after a while it might even start to induce headaches. For instance, you may have to drive a long distance just to access the nearest bridge or tunnel which will take you across. And when one of these few routes restricts traffic due to construction? Talk about a real headache.
But it’s not just water features that present this dilemma. Hills, mountains, and even man-made structures like highways and railways can create the same effect. As a result, residents living in close proximity to a commercial development may not be able to easily access the area. At the very least, there may be psychological effects of having to traverse to the other side. In some instances, potential patients may also view a location “on the other side of the tracks” as less desirable.
When looking for an office, keep these features in mind. We recommend that any potential barriers are analyzed by a local real estate professional for their effects, both real and psychological.
