Your old place looks like nice cozy country home, but I'm betting it's good you moved. I'll bet the people that will be moving in on the other side of that brick wall would be a pain in the *** to a hot rodder.
I'm guessing the people looking at your property want to turn it into a mini-mall if it is zoned right. There's probably alot of money to be made from the people in the new development and the gate appears to be almost right in front of your property. Don't let it go too cheap or too fast. There might be a very good penny to be made if you sit on it for a bit longer.
