[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live on a 2-lane busy street (it's on a bus route) in Arlington.  There are pros/cons:

Pros:
We're plowed immediately after every snowstorm and rarely lose power
I'm less nervous about crime -- why break into our house when you can go to a quiet street one block over?
[b]With good windows you can't really tell it's busy[/b]

Cons:
It can take a minute to back out of the driveway waiting for other care/pedestrians
I won't let kids cross the at the intersection because cars often don't stop at the crosswalk
There are lots of people walking by, which made me nervous about letting kids play on the sidewalk by themselves
I think it lowers the value of the house (vs being on a cul de sac)

Can you tell me what your windows are? I live on a street that isn't particularly busy, but is used as a cut through. This isn't an issue typically, but there are occasional issues with the loud modified cars, and also occasional loud drunk people walking down the street in the wee hours of the weekend morning. I can hear normal conversations through our windows, and I really don't think I should, so I'm looking into replacing at least the bedroom windows but not sure what to look for.[/quote]
