[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both are hideous.

I would be so distressed if I had to live in one of these, and really embarrassed for other people to know this is what I chose.

Many families enjoy having a large home on a busy road.  It’s part of the appeal. [/quote]

Can you explain the appeal?  Do they get high off of the car exhaust or need that background noise or enjoy watching cars?[/quote]

NP.    The pp makes a good point.  I think it’s cultural to own a large home on a busy thoroughfare (fronting a 2-lane roadway variety vs the 495/66 highway).  Some the largest and most expensive homes sit right off busy roads like Georgetown Pike, Hunter Mill Rd, etc.   I personally don’t prefer it but there is an obvious appeal.   There is currently a home on sale for $25m fronting 193.  Yes…someone will be happy to live there.  [/quote]

"cultural"?  For who?  What is the appeal, feng shui or something?  Personally, I avoid major roads because of pollution, noise and difficulty pulling in and out of your driveway into a very busy high speed road.   I don't mind it if it's an apartment on a high floor with a sweeping view, but for a house facing a highway is a negative for me, in a winter you will see it and have car lights flash too.[/quote]

I don't get it either but there's a clear desire for people to build 5-10 million plus houses off Georgetown Pike. [/quote]
