Would you live at a T intersection?

I grew up at a T intersection house but it was in the suburbs of a mid size town in the south. Lights and traffic were not an issue but we did often have to replace our mailbox.


also grew up on a corner (isn't that all a T intersection is/ one street meeting another?)-- but in a suburb. there was a stop sign in our yard and other than loving having lemonade stands at it as a kid i have no other memories of it being an issue either way.

A good friend had a home located at a T-intersection and a car drove through their living room one evening. They rebuilt and put large boulders in their yard.

Me? No, I would avoid a T-intersection home.

Yes I would live at a T-Intersection and have been for many years. Feng shui is old-fashioned, Asian superstition. This is not practiced by most people. Obviously, if you live on a busy street or major intersection, I’d imagine this would be a different story. We have fortunately not experienced any bad luck and feel our house has brought us so many cherished memories. My answer is yes to a T-intersection as long as it’s not on a busy intersection.

No bad energy and dangerous bc a car could plow through

Nope. I follow Feng Shui. I won't even look at a house positioned that way. Really bad energy

Poor to bad Feng shui...which may limit the resale market.

No. Not only will noise and lights annoy you but it is an intractable defect when it comes to resale, limiting your potenial buyer pool. There are better lots out there.

We lived at a T intersection in Bethesda, with traffic on the one street headed right for our house. Those drivers had a stop sign whereas drivers on the cross street did not.

It never bothered us, never noticed lights shining in at night (we were up a slight hill from the street), and our house sold for $100k over asking last fall.

So it really depends on the neighborhood and the specific geography and traffic.
