[quote=Anonymous]We bought on a busy street in Arlington and it's not that big a deal. But it helps that we're fenced and on a corner lot, and our driveway faces the side street. The plus side is we get power back first during outages, we get plowed first during storms, and we managed to lowball the house in the first place (which was related to circumstances other than its location on a busy street). What I hear is that being on a busy street can hurt your resale at the margins because there's a somewhat smaller pool of buyers who will even consider it, but this is a metropolitan area -- lots and lots of houses on busy streets and lots and lots of people buying them everyday. That said, there are varying degrees of "busy." I couldn't tolerate Georgia Avenue north of the Beltway in that stretch up to Wheaton, for example. But my state road in Arlington is really only busy twice a day -- evening and morning rush.[/quote]
