Wells and septic systems are pretty common around me but we chose to prioritize buying in a neighborhood on city water and sewer to bypass any real concerns about maintenance, well water or septic problems. I lived in a house with a septic system when I was a kid and remember problems, but not specifically what they were. I also have a friend who had a problem with their septic system because the builder installed a septic system that was too small for their house once they had kids and was costly and difficult to repair. If I recall they ended up spending many thousands of dollars to connect to the sewer system years later because they never got it straightened out, probably because they kept getting sold on “easy” solutions doomed to fail because the system was too small.
