A house my wife and I are thinking about buying (in Montvale, NJ) is about
1000 feet from some power lines.  The house is about 2 or 3 blocks from the
power lines and the lines are not visible from the house due to trees.  They
might be visible when the leaves have fallen.  I assume the lines are higher 
powered since they are supported by large metal frame structures.

Any comments on the effects of these lines on the future resale value of 
the home?  

Thanks,
