   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?  



Well, I'd say that unless they're connected to your home then you'll have
serious problems selling the house. You may have to offer free candles
to prospective buyers.
