Backyard facing commercial property - Aliana, Richmond

[Sahil Behl]

Hi All,

I have been looking to construct a property in Houston, TX in the Richmond region. I had identified a lot whose backyard overlook a lake but the builder just informed me that the area across the lake would have a road and then some commercial properties. The commercial property is quite a distance from the lot. However, the backyard of the house would face the lake and one would be able to see cars across the lake as well as the commercial property at a distance. 

I am now in two minds whether I should go ahead with this plot, do you think that this view would impact the value of the house? I was initially told that the area across the lake would have two more sets of residential property so I thought the backyard would have a calm lake view.

Your opinion would be appreciated!

Thank you.
