What do you all not like about the corner lot? I have only ever lived on one once and it was a nice experience.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] at daughters house
I wish I did have a corner lot where I could drive onto it from 2 0r more streets. Good for RV and boat parking or a shop out back. A corner lot at a busy intersection might not be so good with small children. I do own two corner lots but I dont live on them.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] at daughters house
I've heard two opinions on corner houses. If there is any signifficant traffic, it's bad not only that you get noise from two sides, but you may get idiots cutting the corner too tight and comming for an undesirable visit. On the other hand, cousins live on the corner of two quiet streets and like it because you only have neighbors on one side and in back. All depends. Tom Fowle
