That is pretty much what my wife said. We would actually be SAFER living near the prison than where we are now.
The only issue I can see is resale value. If I get it at the right price, that issue will become moot.
We are looking at 3 more homes tonight (one in the same general area, but about a mile away from the prison). Tried to do a 2nd showing at this home but they have live-in stagers that have a 1 year old and they turned us down saying it was too late. Their only job is to keep the house show-ready for visits while they live there for free. I'm going to have my realtor talk to their realtor about this issue. I think we requested 8-9pm... not that late.
I decided I will just drive-by to see if there are any wierd lights or anything from the prison at night-time. I already know what the interior looks like and how I feel about it.
