Probably the key advantage of an inside lot is that it costs $30,000 less to purchase and it also costs less to maintain. To the budget conscious, it is a no brainer, go for the inside lot.
I guess it depends on the lanai's you have behind you. We have an interior lot where the lanai's behind us have all been glassed in, and the owners have done extensive landscaping, so we don't see or hear people except rarely. However, I understand the feeling of spaciousness of a corner lot which would certainly be a plus.
