How fragrant is your neighborhood?

Imagine arriving at an open for inspection only to discover the street or even the whole suburb stinks. There is a huge rubbish dump, industrial facility or some other environmental problem in the neighborhood. Next time, look up the houses you are interested in inspecting on StreetAdvisor.com first and find out what the locals really think.

Briarwood Circle, Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States (StreetScore 35.28) is described by resident anniecatt as:

"75% shopping mall, 15% medical center, 10% apartments. It's kind of crowded, and not in the good way. Not a lot of parking for the shopping center. It's probably located way too close to a high school for comfort, and on a really hot day it kind of smells like diapers."

At Car Farm Road, Lincolnton, Lincoln, North Carolina, United States (StreetScore 52.92), resident mrsgaus  says:

"You're only about 5-7 minutes from the local shopping centers and downtown Lincolnton. The only problem is the city dump is located on this road. And so for a half a mile or so you can smell the stench. Not the greatest thing to smell every morning when you get out of bed or have friends over."

At Central Park S, New York, New York, United States (StreetScore 63.46), visitor AriS believes that:

"Nothing is is more classic than than hotel life in New York. CPS is loaded with hotels even if many have gone condo in recent years. With all the great people watching and magnificent lobbies not to mention central park this is one of my favorite streets in NY. The downsides inclue a lot of traffic, people hocking black market purses and yes; the classic scent of horse dung permeates the air."

A nasal nightmare of a different kind is present near Trillium Terrace, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (StreetScore 64.01), according to resident Brennan, where:

"Downtown is only a 5 to 10 minute drive away, and best of all, the end of the street is an opeing to Humber Bay Park. Unfortunately, besides the couple of neighbouring streets, the area is made up of four story apartment buildings that look like they've seen better days. Finally, the sewage treatment plant is a little too close for comfort. Though I've never noticed it from Trillium Terrace, it is often something you might smell as you come and go home."
