Would you live or move to a home beside a psychiatric hospital

I wonder,though, if the market could read this as simply a "hospital" thus causing surrounding values to actually increase. I know proximity to hospitals in general increases property values but I don't know if there is any evidence on psychiatric hospitals.

Just don't be surprise if you see a wondering person that is confused on who they might be or where they are.

To answer the OP question, No I wouldn't.
