It is not really like those things because it is not an eyesore or a nuisance in any way. A power plant is loud and lets off plumes off water vapor, dumps smell, power lines are eyesores. The prison is not visible, doesn't smell or make any noise. In fact I doubt any visitors would know it was that close unless I told them.
Small bit of trivia, guards at Alcatraz used to live on the island with their families. One lady (on the audio tour) claimed they never locked their doors, their community was so small and intimate they had no need to.

I'd guess the price should be a tad lower because of this but if all else is good, I wouldn't hesitate.
