Then again, it's in the city and cities are busy. Maybe I won't even notice it? Thoughts? Would this turn you off?

If there's a chance this will be an issue for you, pass. There are so many other houses out there and selling is a hassle.

I'd say the same. Honestly the homes with the highest values in my side of the cities are right ON traffic circles. So I can't say much...

What if dog, cat or child gets out - just once?

Also, take white noise over intermittant noise.

High-quality privacy fencing people.

Around the front of your yard? And you can still hear over it, especially on the second level. Some people don't want that boxed in feeling a privacy fence gives.

A fence would be unsightly and wouldn't make much of a dent in the noise.

What county? Fairfax county has some unglued self ascribed corner police who will complain about anything - ESPECIALLY fences and trees on corner lots.

I grew up in a corner house that had a 2-way stop. I really never noticed it particularly.

Even with my white noise machine, the bass from car stereos disrupt my sleep all night.

4 way stop in DC is pretty much a suggestion...I'd be more worried about the crashes that result from everyone swerving to avoid stopping!

And why would having a stop sign be worse for pets or children?

If you are assuming that stop signs are only on busy streets there is no correlation in DC whatsoever - on most side streets in the city you have a stop sign controlled intersection at least every other block and in most neighborhoods on every single corner.

Not allowed in DC which seems to be where the OP is looking.
