We found living on a corner lot in Indiana not to our liking. In TV we went for a lot that backs up to a street. I realize it isn't for everyone but it is more comfortable for us to not share rear space with a "lanai buddy" or the side yard with everybody. A corner lot was larger and therefore more to mow, landscape, water, and generally more costly to maintain. Taking some pride in my property, I then had to keep the back as presentable as the front. We enjoyed our neighbors but we lived in a walkiing neighborhood with many people out and about in the evenings. We had to be prepared to socialize every time we were outside which is OK most of the time but not ALL the time. TV houses are very close together and I think one has to choose carefully what you will be looking at for the next few years. Anyway, that's my $.02 worth.
