I'm not sure I understand how a corner lot is more private. It seems like you are more exposed. Perhaps it involves what type of house you have and abut to. Our lot has neighbors on both sides. On one side the side of our house faces the side that the neighbor has frosted windows for their bathroom, and no other windows, so we have no interaction from neighbors on that side and they cannot see into our home. If we were on a corner, we would be looking out onto the street from that side and people would be walking and driving by looking into our house. On the other side, our house has just the bathroom/frosted windows, so we really don't see their house. I feel our house is very private in that sense. I do imagine a corner lot allows more light in on one side, which would be nice, but we put in solar tubes to compensate and are happy with the result.
