🏡 Backyard pickleball courts: Property perk, or neighborhood nuisance
Pickleball courts are popping up in parks, backyards, driveways and cul-de-sacs across the country, which could boost your property price. But be warned…not everyone’s thrilled about it.
A recent article from Realty Times digs into how America’s pickleball craze is affecting property values and creating tension with some HOAs and neighbors.
The TL;DR?
🏠 Some homeowners love having courts nearby…especially if they play
😠 Others complain about noise, crowds, and lowered property values
📈 Meanwhile, some agents say a home near a court could actually fetch a premium
If you're part of a community club or thinking about building a court at home, it's worth a read. A court could boost your property’s value. But it might also spark more trouble than it’s worth, unfortunately.
