I grew up on one, and it was fabulous.  It had a huge center area, and all [b]the kids played out front in the street[/b]. We had lots of games on kickball, tennis, baseball (sing a tennis racket and ball). Rode our bikes there.  No traffic except those who lived on the cul de sac.

And yes, lots and lots of block parties.

^^^^This is another reason why I hate cul de sacs!  I absolute hate that when you have to pull in or pull out or your driveway there is always some unattended child at the end of it.  You always have to dodge a ball, a child, or some other type of object that is lying in the street.  The kids take over the circle and there is never any peace or quite in cul de sacs. It becomes a 24/7 playground.   If you have  noisy neighbors, then it's miserable too because the homes are too close together.

I have other things that I hate about a cul de sac: 
Limited or odd parking for guests
It feels like you're sharing your personal space with neighbors at all times
Lack of privacy 
The abundance of unattended children playing in the street at all hours of the night.  It's okay when they're little, but wait until they become teenagers and they invite the entire school over every weekend to take hostage of the circle.
It's harder to sell your home because when most people live in the burbs they want space between their neighbors.

The only way you will get me on a cul de sac is if I'm sitting on an acre lot and my next door neighbor's house is a five minute drive away.    [/quote]
