[quote=Anonymous]We bought on a busy road for our quiet neighborhood in DC. I don't think we got much of a discount because of it but I don't regret it at all. The annoyances are small and infrequent and there are perks that are, IMO, underrated. I feel safer, both in terms of personal safety and security when I am not at the house, since there are always people walking on the sidewalks and there are eyes around all the time. We've never had a single issue with package theft even though our neighbors on quieter adjacent streets do. We are the first to have the street plowed and any other utility issues are taken care of very quickly. Our house is positioned on our lot so that the bedrooms and other rooms you'd want to be quiet are on the side of the house away from the street (with one exception that we use as an office). If the bedrooms were on the street side I might think twice about buying. With renting I wouldn't let this be too big of an issue, though. [/quote]
