That's true, you know your area so you would know which properties are likely to have good resale...
In my case I knew it was win-win because the house I bought is .2 miles from the PreK-2nd grade building, and .1 miles from the Middle School. Plus it had a good-sized, but non-landscaped yard. It was so much easier to have a garden co. put in new landscaping when there was nothing to take out! So I know if I do decide to move it won't be that hard to sell...
