Cheaper
January 25th, 2010 at 1:05 am
there’s only one benefit: you can walk to the airport for your trip.

Real estate is a lot less expensive in undesirable locations. I know that living near train tracks, after a while you don’t notice the sound. . . could be that happens by the airport.

They’ve probably been living there much before the airports were built so can’t blame them. The airports just grew around them, I guess.

People do funny things. I remember a time when developers began building a ton of new homes near an Air Force base. Soon after, the new home owners began complaining about the noise… go figure.

Those who live near airports, find it convenient to either walk, drive, take a bus or a cab a short distance away, rather to take that long commute or being stuck in traffic. Although it’s noisy and possibly being in an unhealthy environment around those plane emissions.

Cheap real estate.

In response to Bryan W’s Answer, it’s actually the other way around. 99% of the airport in operation today were built long before the neighborhoods that surround them were built. As other’s have said, land around airport’s is cheaper because of the noise levels. So then you get the problem of people who live near moved into an airport neighborhood complaining about the noise, even when they knew full well that the airport was there. Same goes for poeple who live near pre-existing train tracks (even heard of people throwing stuff at a moving train because of the noise) or people moving next to prisons and then complaining about dangerous prisoners escaping.

I have lved right near 2 airports all my life
no problems yet
What u say ?
January 25th, 2010 at 4:59 am
The noise problem is not half of what it used to be. In the early days of jet travel when the 707s and DC-8s were the only jetliners in use the noise was ten times worse. They were incredibly loud.
.
I spent the night at an uncles house once that was right over the takeoff pattern of the airport outside of New Orleans.The neighborhood was developed before the advent of jet aircraft.
.
When a jet was taking off you’d hear it the minute the engines were given full power as low rumbling in the ground, like thunder, but constant. The roar could be heard even before the aircraft began to move. By takeoff the entire house and ground were shaking and by the time it passed overhead you had your fingers in your ears.
.
The land must have been cheap for people to have put up with that kind of thing day in and day out and most importantly at night.

As others have said, I think its a matter of economics. Land around airports is usually occupied by industry or warehouses, etc. where the noise is of little or no consequence. Greedy land developers however have bought up a lot of this vacant or industrial land because a lot more money can be made on single family dwellings as opposed to industrial parks. Municipalities often go along with it particularly when vacant land is involved as they are enriching their tax bases. As has also been mentioned, most airports were long pre-existing to any subdivisions. Oftentimes prices are lower in these subdivisions because of their proximity to an airport and people move in and then want to shut the airport down due to the noise.
Most airports these days have some sort of noise abatement procedures that they use whenever possible.

I live next to an airport by choice. It is not cheap as someone stated before because the airport and my house are in a large metropolitan city. I live here because I work in aviation and I like the convenience of being “close to work”.
Also, I love airplane noise!
Best,

if in aparment the pay less rent for the noise and if house less tax
January 25th, 2010 at 7:39 am
they like aviation? i couldn’t not live near an airport! i’m a student pilot and even if i’m not in the plane, i like to see planes around! if you’re a pilot it’s easier to live by an airport cause there isn’t far to drive. another example is if the weather is bad and suddenly changes to good weather, cause you can just go. and u can stop in the fbo and talk w/ your friends if they’re there too! there’s alot of advantages.
January 25th, 2010 at 7:53 am
people dont always “want” to live by airports, sometimes its b/c its cheaper there or just more convenient……but then again, its pretty hard to find somewhere (other than in the middle of nowhere) that doesnt have an airport near it lol.
January 25th, 2010 at 8:10 am
several reasons:
1. both of us work there
2. amenities: since the airport pays for noise mitigation, houses close to it tend to have new and good insulation, new windows and central AC – all of it paid for
3. it’s cool to see your friend’s plane take off
January 25th, 2010 at 8:33 am
Cheaper (as stated above) and if you work at the airport or if your a pilot/attendant and youre on call, which means you get called and you have to be at the airport in a short amount of time.
