Subject: Slope or flat?

Hello,
I have to choose between two properties, one on a slope and a flat one
just down the slope. The slope is quite gentle, about 1 to 10 or about
6 degrees if my math is correct. The size of the properties is about
30 000 sq ft. I have never lived on a slope, therefore don't know what
is good or bad in it. I guess there is more trouble with the slopy
one, but is it worth it? Which property would you choose other things
(size, cost etc) being equal?


Not to be flippant (for a change I know), but what's the view like? If the
higher up one has a good view then take it, plus there is less chance of
flooding up slope.

From a purely gardening pov, a slope makes cutting the lawn a pain even if it
is a gentle one. So probably no lawn, a slope generally means good drainage so
less chance of water logging and you can plant plants which prefer dry feet.

I'm sure there is more.
