Is corner property desired for a home

[infoseeker]

Hi

I am looking to buy a home in the Carmel Mountain Ranch area and this listing in Walden community caught my eye

http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-090019858-13698_Essence_San_Diego_Ca_92128

The only concern I have is that this property is a corner lot in the intersection of Espirit and Essence. Essence is a quiet road but I Espirit could get busy as it is one of the entry points into the community. The home however is not right at the entry of the community.

I am not sure whether a corner lot is generally preferred or not and what would be the resale value for such a property?

Please advise as I am a first time home buyer and I am not aware of the pros and cons of a corner lot.

Thanks for you comments!

Is this going to your primary?

Do you plan to stay there long?

Does having a corner lot personally bother you or your spouse?

If the answer is y,y,n, then who cares….Except you could use it as a negotiation tactic to lower the price 🙂

For some corner lots on an interection would be not desirable. For others it doesn’t matter.

The first home I bought was a corner house. It was in Washington state. The downside was twice the amount of sidewalk to shovel when it snowed. Obviously, that is not an issue here.

Another issue for me was the lack of privacy in the backyard. In the town I lived in people didn’t fence as much as they do here.. So I would have had to spend serious $$ to fence in the backyard to get a private yard. If the backyard is already fenced, you won’t have that issue.

The final issue is car noise from 2 streets… But if the streets aren’t very busy, that’s another non-issue.

Personally, I wouldn’t buy a corner lot again… But that’s just me. I learned a lot of things not to do with that house.

In this instance, I would prefer the corner lot.
You can wall in the whole area including part of the front and have private courtyard.

I generally prefer corner houses. Even better if there’s nobody behind.

I don’t like cul de sac because of the noise w/ kids and having to deal with the neighbors.

With the corner, you have more privacy because there is just one neighbor to one side and one in the back.

The house looks out onto Essence. There are no houses on Esprit across from the house so people won’t be parking next to your property and making noise.
