There's a house we like, but as it turns out it's a couple miles from a landfill/waste management type place. Of course it would be!
In terms of health reasons, home value, and of course smell, how far is a safe distance from this type of place?
Ugh why is house hunting so difficult?!

Is it 2 miles as the crow flies? I honestly don't know what is safe. I would want to be as far as possible, but I think 2 miles sounds ok. If you could still smell it though, I wouldn't want to buy the house. Look at the school too - that it's not very close to the landfill.

The school is closer to it.
