Since you are planning to move in a few years I'd get the old house.
People go to new neighbourhoods for new houses so you will always have to compete with that. Basically you will have to sell at a discount and it would be risky to count on a boom propping new build prices.
People that buy old buy because of other factors none of which are going to change anytime soon. Unless the city runs a highway through it that is.
And then there is the convenience of living closer to work etc.
My 2 cents.
