No idea on the differences on the expenses, but lots on cul-de-sacs tend to have larger pie shaped lots, where we live some of these houses also appear to be larger, due to the larger lots. More land, larger house, equals higher taxes, higher maintenance costs. The same would go for houses on the outside of a corner on the street. The houses in the center of the block will tend to have the smaller lots.
IMHO, if you have a sales agent I would ask them, also, taxes are public record so you could pick a couple of representative houses and look up the taxes. A call to 1 or 2 of the larger lawn maintenance companies may get you the information for say a 6000 sq. ft. lots versus a 12000 sq. ft. lot.
