The Denver International Airport is developing a home buyer's guide to educate those who consider moving into the area about the various issues associated with living near an airport.Buyers of homes near the airport also must sign a contract that includes a legal disclosure, and some sales include easements regarding overhead traffic.
The guide, which will be available in the fall, explains various issues to buyers who must sign a contract, including:
Visual intrusion. People who live near airports will see huge planes flying only a few hundred feet overhead.
Noise. Jet engines are becoming quieter, but planes still make noise.
Flight patterns. Once they reach proper altitude, departing airplanes can follow any path the pilots choose. As a result, noise disturbances can vary on any given day.
Safety. Nearly 70 percent of all airplane accidents occur on takeoff and landing.
