[quote=Anonymous]Hmm.

1. Are there sidewalks on this busy street, or does walkability simply not matter to you?
2. Do you have to back out on this busy street (this will matter)?
3. Are we talking Arlington Boulevard busy, Lee Highway/Columbia Pike busy, or Washington Boulevard/Wilson Boulevard west of Glebe busy (use Maryland equivalents if need be)?

My wife and I passed on a house that was at the corner of one of the three-syllable streets and Wilson Boulevard (facing the three-syllable street) in 2002. I think it was in Bluemont.

However, the noise of a TH backing onto Columbia Pike was too much for my wife, so we did get skittish. I do regret not doing it, as we bought in a less-than-great area in South Arlington and my wife now considers Arlington a swear word.

OTOH, we're right outside downtown Leesburg now, and have found happiness for our situation.

OP, if you were intolerant of noise when you were in a condo/apartment/TH, I'd be VERY leery of pulling the trigger. [/quote]
