[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in CCDC, and the streets I would definitely avoid for SFHs (not for condos) are: Connecticut, Military, and [b]Nebraska (especially south of Military)[/b]. Busy streets, but not necessarily deal-breakers, would be the cut-through streets like McKinley and Rittenhouse.
The reason you want to avoid those streets are 1) noise; 2) exhaust pollution; 3) dust; 4) inconvenience, especially if you have to back out of a driveway onto a busy street; 5) harder to sell.
I understand why people buy these houses, though. They are generally less expensive and get you into the neighborhood schools (Lafayette, Much, Deal, Wilson).[/quote]

I live right near there, and a sizable number of houses on Nebraska south of Military have gone on the market during the pandemic. I would say that 90 percent went for above asking, and 95 percent were off the market in less than a week. So yes, there are plenty of people who do not consider a busy road a dealbreaker, despite what the Double-Yellow Brigade on this board thinks.[/quote]
