I live on a corner in a ranch, and I find people let their dogs do their business on my lawn on that side of the house that I cannot see. but not on the front of the house. In addition, living on a corner increases the amount of water you use from the sprinklers, and your landscaping fees are more. Also, pest control /fertilizing fees for your lawn are more, and your taxes are more. I would not buy another house on a corner. Weeding beds and general upkeep of flowers/shrubs that I do is getting too much for me to handle. Not having neighbors on one side is nice ( a little more privacy), but not enough of a trade off.
