[quote=Anonymous]Such an interesting thread. Think the level of regret depends on the situation. Our first home was at the intersection of two busy DC roads. Drove me crazy! We put up a privacy fence and nice tall plantings and that helped somewhat. Still was super loud every time we stepped out of the door. But we got a good deal in buying the home (our first) and had amazing Metro access. We priced right and sold that home quickly when the time came. 
I vowed never to live on a busy street again.
Except... we found our dream home on a somewhat busy street in a close-in suburb. It's set back off the road a great deal and was priced well. We snapped it up. So glad we did. Never any road noise inside. Rarely any road noise while in the yard...it just fades into white noise. Great public transportation access. Road is always plowed quickly during storms, ditto on PEPCO working on power outages. Slight annoyance pulling out of driveway in the am, but it's ok if you time it right with the light. Overall, very happy with the decision. [/quote]
