I wouldn’t automatically avoid it. Having supermarkets, pharmacies, and banks nearby makes daily life much more convenient.

It depends on the type of businesses. Small retail shops are fine, but restaurants or wedding halls can create traffic and noise.

For long-term investment, moderate commercial activity can actually increase demand because people value convenience.

I prefer purely residential areas because they’re usually quieter and have less parking congestion.

Commercial growth doesn’t bother me as long as it’s properly planned and doesn’t affect security or cleanliness.

If I were buying to rent out the property, nearby businesses would probably make it more attractive to tenants.

I would be concerned if the commercial area was expanding rapidly without proper road infrastructure.
