Would you buy a house near school field?

[Swimington]

It’s a secondary school.
Adjacent to school field is the sports pitches/astroturf. I know sport is sometimes played on weekends by local teams and also has flood flights.
Would this put you off?

I'd be put off. We looked at a house recently that backed on to a playing field (community rather than school). We decided against it as you could tell it would be used at weekends for kid's sport events and would be noisy. Then at night, it would probably be used by teenagers for hanging out.

I wouldn't want to personally

No, would t put me off. I grew up backing into a school field and then moved to a house that backed on to one. Security around the perimeter was pretty good with high fences. These were paid for and maintained by the schools.
No one used them at weekends so may be slightly different in your case.

I can honestly say we had no bother - at least you know there won't be houses built behind you & no wild parties!

Do careful research! I collected DS at 8pm from a training session on a school sports' pitch this evening and the older age group were just going on for their 2 hour session. There is something on there until 10pm most nights. Whilst the traffic and parking is horrendous around 8.30 and 3.00 (when the school starts and finishes) it is also busy every hour, on the hour from 4pm onwards. At the weekends, sessions start from 8am and go on until about 5pm on a Saturday; on a Sunday, it starts at the same time but is usually all over by 2pm. If there are a lot of fixtures on, then the opposing team will all be driving as well as the local team so, again, parking can be chaos.
The school holidays are quieter as there are fewer activities in the evenings but holiday camps are run out of the sports venue and, whilst the core day is 9am - 3pm, early drop off is from 8am and pick up is from 6pm.
The school gets really valuable income from renting out the facilities so does whatever it can.
