What if you love a house but HATE the name of the street?

[Anonymous]

I know this sounds petty, but it's part of your address and something you have to write and tell people over and over. Would this be a deal breaker for you? Am I being silly to even consider it? (The street name I hate is a common word but that's mispelled.)

This is neurotic and funny. Are you Elaine?

I understand hating a street name, but I certainly would not let that affect my purchase decision.

It would give me pause. How bad is it (without necessarily revealing the street name). Is it embarassing? near-Derogatory? personnally unappealing?

It's the equivalent of spelling Ashley AshLee. Just tacky in my opinion.

I have to admit this would give me pause too.

Ugh. Hate when cities let developers name streets after their family members/favorite stripper.

Check if there's a similar street name in your area. It's possible you can use Ashley if there's no other ashle_ streets in your zip code.

Not a bad idea at all!

When we lived in Mich I fell in love with a house in "coonpath rd"... I just couldn't do that!

There's a Scroggins Road in Alexandria that always makes me laugh when I drive by. And thank the real estate gods I don't live there.

My husband is an immigrant with a name that most americans have a hard time spelling/ pronouncing. (They expect it to be hard, but it isn't. It's spelled phonetically, but I digress.)

HE was never happier than when we lived on 18th Street. Nothing to spell! Nothing to mispronounce! Now we live in the tree-streets, and that's ok too. But I can imagine he would have been very resistent if the dream house was a few blocks down, on Quackenbos.
