I’m currently renting a corner house, and I love it. Granted, both streets are not very busy, and if that were different perhaps my opinion would be different. Also, my front yard is raised up off the street & sidewalk by about 5 feet, so I have a ‘birds eye view’ of the neighborhood. My office is situated on the corner with windows open to each street. I enjoy the openness on two sides with a view as opposed to being boxed in between two other houses on each side.
