Back Against the Wall.

A “Perimeter Lot” is a property that sits on the very edge of the subdivision, backing up to the outside world. Buyers are often split on them.

The Fear (Security)

The common worry is that someone can jump over the wall.

  • The Due Diligence: Before bidding, check what is behind the wall. Is it a quiet creek? A busy highway? Or a squatter area?
  • The Fix: Most homeowners simply raise the back wall and install electric fencing.

The Benefit (Privacy)

The upside? No Backyard Neighbors. You don’t have a neighbor looking into your kitchen. You often have a permanent view. For introverts, this privacy is worth the extra security cost.
