Houses next to the railway tracks... noisy or convenient?

Mikaela Wilkes Reporter from Homed

Hi neighbours, we're keen to talk to people who live near a busy railway line - commuter or freight - about the pros and cons of the location.

What's the noise disturbance like? Do you notice it?
Was your house cheaper than others in the area?
Is the easy access to transport the reason you bought there?

If you can answer any of those questions, we'd love to hear from you. Please leave a comment or email homed@stuff.co.nz with your name and details. Have a great day!
