[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking to buy a house in Arlington or Alexandria. There have been a few really nice houses in our price range that are on super busy streets (Glebe/Quaker). We currently live in an apartment on a busy road and have no issues, but I am hesitant to buy on one. The houses we have seen are set back far from the street so it MAY be possible to build a wall and/our plant some large bushes/trees to block out the noise (and slow down cars that may run off the road). But then I worry about resale value and kids/pets running into traffic. So, would you buy on a busy street if you found an awesome deal? Do you live on a busy street? How is it? Thanks![/quote] I think it depends. Where on Glebe? If it's one of those ones down by 66 south of Glebe Elementary School, no way. If up by Marymount/Golf Club, Glebe's really not that busy up that way. In Alexandria, I guess it depends. The busy roads there are really busy. King, Russell, Duke, etc.[/quote]
