I think it's an individual kind of thing. We now live on a corner lot now that we spent a fortune landscaping. Because we positioned the house on the diagonal, we added a lot of trees for privacy. The house seems to be generating a lot of traffic due to its "curb appeal." We considered surrendering our reserved lot in TV for a corner one so we could do the side stretches we wanted, but we ended up changing our minds. The streets were not busy ones. However, my husband determined that we would have 30 feet of side yard to maintain, but not really get to enjoy much. And, we still wouldn't have enough rear yard where we wanted space. Since I want to reduce my exterior upkeep in retirement, we decided against the corner. Still, I do love our present house situated on a corner!
