[quote=Anonymous]It really depends.. HOW busy is the street?  HOW small is the house?

But my impulse is- small house on quiet street.  That is sort of what I have, anyways.

I'd hate to live on a busy road, for the exhaust, traffic when pulling out of the driveway, inconvenience with the dog, and just overall STRESS.

As for what "tradeoffs" to make in an expensive housing market like this one -- I wouldn't compromise on location, commute, schools, quiet street, walkable to amenities.  (Those are all the really expensive ones, right..)

However our house had some compromises- old, small, and in a less-scenic part of a highly desirable location.  It was in dire need of renovations and we've done those over the years.

I would also compromise on "level lot" -- as long as it isn't a terrible hill to mow, I don't really mind.

Not a fan of living under a cell tower, but that would probably be better than a busy road for me.

If I could get a great deal on it and it worked otherwise-- I'd definitely be willing to live in a house next to a cemetary, or where a murder had taken place.
