Ames Farm

If you buy a place beside a commercial activity like Ames, not only do you know in advance what you are getting, you pay less for the property. Then if the commercial enterprise is forced to leave, the value of your property goes up.

I've seen this many times with airports. People buy a house under the approach path at a very low price, then complain about the noise. The airport goes and now their property is worth a lot more.
