That is probably the reason the property is cheap.

. Having been a kept woman for many years, going to work has never been an issue.

Several very nice subdivisions were built back in the 80's that had one entrance. The one I had in mind also had a pipeline and a railroad track to cross before you could get onto the road. As they built out, more entrances were created, but for several years, it was only one. The concern is being trapped.

If pipelines scared me, there would be no living in Houston. My long time friend gets product through pipelines. While having dinner years ago, we were talking about a pipeline in Houston blowing up. She laughed and said it would take them 2 days to figure out whose it was.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I have lived on one in Houston before but it was a utility line. We ended up looking at another property away from the pipelines.

A gas line easement will mean that the company can tear up the ground to get to its gas line whenever it wants. It needs to be able to do this in the event of a repair. Most likely, you wouldn't be allowed to build on a gas line anyway, and even if you were, you wouldn't want to.
