[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both of our houses have been on busy streets.  Here are a few things to consider:

- How does it sound from the inside in places like your bedroom and the offices (if you WFH)?

- Are you near an intersection where cars will be stopping?  That will exacerbate any noise.

- Are there a lot of pedestrians, and what kind? (we get a lot of loud high school groups who are noisier than the cars)

- Will you ever be crossing as a pedestrian?  Will you feel safe doing so with young kids (if applicable)?

- How do you get in and out of the car?  A (flat) driveway is ideal.  If you park on the street but there's a bike lane, that's helpful too.  If there's no buffer between your parked car and the traffic lane, you might feel unsafe, especially with young kids.[/quote]

These are good questions.

Another question from a friend of ours, whose house is across from the neighborhood community center, is do the car lights shine directly on your house as cars pass by?  That would have been a deal breaker for them but because the driveway to the parking lot came out at an angle, they don't have 200 cars lighting up their house after an event at the center.[/quote]
