[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Of course. People obviously buy homes on busy streets like Nebraska. [b]But turnover on busy streets is also higher than on streets that are quieter.[/b] People will buy at that busy intersection because they want to get into the neighborhood, so they compromise. Given how tight the market has been, I'm not surprised. Even that house on Military right at that super busy intersection eventually sold.[/quote]
