Edit: it also seems like a small thing to worry about at a point in time since neighbors change. Annoying neighbors move away, or a new annoying neighbor can buy the house next door at any time. I’m not paying extra for something that is completely out of my control and could change tomorrow. The potential for annoying neighbors is not a feature of a given house so much as a feature of all houses, in my mind. But this attitude is probably more prevalent in people who don’t live in neighborhoods governed by HOAs where certain “annoying” behaviors are regulated away.
