How Dark Is Dark? Thoughts About Nights In the Country.
It is beautiful at night in more rural areas. You will see
more
stars than you have ever seen before. It is truly an amazing
sight when I go outside and look up on a clear night.
There
are more shooting stars to wish upon and a clearer view of the
constellations. The reason for this is that the further away
from
the lights of the city and more heavily populated suburbs the less
artificial light is put out into the night. When you are closer to any
highly populated area the lights from buildings, street lighting, and
other man made structures masks the night sky and does not allow the
much further light sources from the stars to shine through.
One of the
things that many potential home buyers in a rural area
don't think about is the fact that there are not street lights on every
block. When you are driving at night it can seem very dark
and
intimidating. Many transfers to the area report that it is
scary
to them to be without the familiar street lighting of their city or
suburban neighborhoods. There is a certain isolation that is
felt
that can be calming and feel great to some but can really upset others.
If you are
planning a move from the city or suburbs to a rural area, make sure you
visit the area a night. Find a place to park and spend some
time there, don't just drive through. Feel the night, listen
to the sounds, and see how the dark affects you. If like many
of us, you find you enjoy the beauty of the night then move forward
with your plans to buy in a rural location. But if you are
worried that the lack of lighting will upset you you may want to
rethink the country life.
If you are
thinking a a move to the Greater Hudson Valley of New York you can
still find the perfect piece of paradise for you as we have a variety
of neighborhoods to choose from. Maybe it would be better for
you to look in a village, neighborhood development, or one of
our local small city locations. This way you can feel the comfort
nighttime lighting yet be close enough to enjoy our night sky whenever
you want simply by heading a short distance down the road.
