With Wright Amendment Restrictions on the Way Out, Will Increased Air Traffic Affect Love Field Home Sales?
Share News:
Love Field is surrounded by some of the best and priciest neighborhoods in Dallas. Flanked by Mockingbird Lane, Lemmon Avenue, and Denton Drive, this airport has always gotten the stink-eye from neighboring property owners who feel entitled to some peace and quiet.
There’s Bluffview, Perry Heights, Greenway Parks, and Oak Lawn and Uptown to the south. But with the Wright Amendment set to be fully repealed in less than a year, well, it could get a lot noisier. If homeowners felt air traffic was tough to bear before, could the increased fly-bys from Love Field departures and arrivals affect property values?
Maybe not, says Allie Beth Allman VP Tim Schutze.
“I am not seeing any negative changes in buyers comments and have not seen any change in values,” Schutze said via email. “I believe more people have become — and are becoming — more tuned to the urban setting and all that comes with that, such as traffic noise, congestion, etc.”
I think it’s an interesting perspective, and one we often overlook, that the urban environment often isn’t quiet, and can be quite noisy. As Dallas increases in urban density, of course you’re going to get more noise. More neighbors = more activity, which in turn = more noise. That’s not a bad thing, though, because with increased density you get more amenities and a more walk-able neighborhood.
Schutze echoes that philosophy, saying that homebuyers who are looking to move inside Insterstate 635 “feel that the benefits of a close-in location far outweighs any perceived issues with air traffic and vehicle noise.”
What do you think?
AGREE! I call it the Urban Waterfall.

After living in Uptown in the direct flight path of Love Field for 6 winters, I can honestly say that after the first day or so, I hardly even notice the jets overhead. The only reason I know about them is when the kids get excited about seeing another plane. My kids are more noisy with their excitement than the jets.

The new agreement that AA basically purchased does away with the Love Field Master Plan that called for a max of 36 gates.The new AA purchased agreement limits Love Field to 20 gates. Currently 18 are in use. Reault: AA gets their monopoly at DFW Airport and SW gets their monopoly at Love. The loser is the traveling public that will pay more to fly. The 'agreement' is the perfect example of corporate corruption and manipulation.

A few comments:
1). Generally speaking, the noisiest aircraft at Love Field that generate the most complaints are certain older, loud, private jets that lack the much quieter engines featured on modern passenger planes.
2). Even at its peak, the volume of flight traffic out of Love Field will be well below prior volumes.

From Wikipedia:
"Dallas Love Field has its origins beginning in 1917 when the Army announced its intention of establishing a series of camps to train prospective pilots after the United States entry into World War I."
So, Love Field basically predates every residential neighborhood mentioned.
Its just the price of being in a city. Look at Chicago, New York City, etc.
Plus – if we moved Love Field, where would it go? And wouldn’t more people be upset by losing the convenience?
The one upside to Love moving would be the land value of the 1300 acres that would free up. And Bachman Lake would be prime real estate for hirise residences.
