They&#8217;re not.<\/p>\n<p>Oh sure, you&#8217;ve got a bigger lot and neighbors on only two sides, but as a former corner lot owner, trust me when I say the cons far outweigh the pros.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, besides often being more expensive to buy, here are 21 additional reasons why corner lots just aren&#8217;t worth it:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Noise, noise, noise<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Double street and sidewalk frontage means double the noise from pedestrian and car traffic. Pull up a chair and crack open a cold one; I&#8217;m just gettin&#8217; started.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Unconventional configurations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For example, the front yard of a home on a corner lot is usually bigger than the back, and the garage may be located around the corner.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Yard \u2013 lots of it<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Larger lots mean more to mow. It&#8217;s even worse when the lawn is big but not so large that it justifies buying a riding mower. And if you hire a professional instead, keep in mind that corner lot lawns generally cost an average of 20% more to mow.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Yard \u2013 lots of it (Part II)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>All things being equal, larger lawns have higher landscape costs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>More trash to pick up<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Cars stopping at a stop sign are more likely to dump their trash on your big front yard. You&#8217;re also liable to get more trash because&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Corners make great school bus stop locations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hey, I have kids too. I&#8217;m just sayin.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Less privacy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you have one less neighbor, but in exchange for that you get foot traffic on <em>two<\/em> sides of the house instead of only one. Trust me, if you&#8217;re worried about privacy you&#8217;d be better off with the extra neighbor. Speaking of foot traffic&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>They&#8217;re great pedestrian shortcuts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When given the choice, most people will save 16 seconds of their life by cutting across the front lawn of a corner home. But before you get any bright ideas, just remember this&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Less privacy (Part II)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many jurisdictions severely restrict privacy fence heights or prohibit them all together for traffic safety. Even if there are no privacy fence restrictions, corner lot owners have to deal with&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Higher fence costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Having one less neighbor to deal with is terrific! Well, unless you need to borrow a cup of sugar. Or you&#8217;re trying to <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id606-how-to-avoid-neighbor-conflicts-when-its-time-for-a-new-fence-part-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">get your neighbors to share the cost of a new fence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Double tax assessments<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Because corner lots border streets on two sides, you may get hit for <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=wXcdAQAAIAAJ&amp;pg=PA7833&amp;lpg=PA7833&amp;dq=corner+lot+double+tax+assessments&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=7AVZocz3Ml&amp;sig=C2cKEtiT_eMOxmW8dbCyWyI1nB8&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=M2zIVKfJDMuvyASwsoKgCA&amp;ved=0CEQQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&amp;q=corner%20lot%20double%20tax%20assessments&amp;f=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">twice as many<\/a> sidewalk and street assessments.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Double set-back requirements<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Owners of corner lots may be subject to city or other jurisdictional easements or set-back requirements on two sides of their property, rather than just one.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>More dog poo<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Although I haven&#8217;t taken the time to do a definitive scientific study, I&#8217;m quite certain the probability of an off-leash neighborhood dog pooping on a corner-lot front lawn is 100 percent. Prove me wrong.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Greater risk of a car crashing into your house<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Okay, I admit it; the probability of this happening is about as likely as Ariana Grande hiring Taylor Swift as a vocal coach. But it&#8217;s hard to argue that it ain&#8217;t true.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bigger snow jobs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For those of you who live in colder climes, more sidewalk means more snow to shovel.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Less privacy (Part III)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Corner lot backyards are exposed to the public. That can be a nuisance if you&#8217;re trying to have a private family barbecue &#8212; or sunbathe in the nude. (Not that I do that, but to each his own, right?)<\/p>\n<h3><strong>More light pollution<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Increased street lighting and headlights from cars turning corners can be a nuisance.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Yard \u2013 lots of it (Part III)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Folks on corner lots have more leaves to rake &#8212; especially those who live downwind from adjacent parks.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>More vulnerable to burglary<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Because there are fewer neighbors surrounding the home and more escape routes &#8211; courtesy of streets on two sides &#8211; homes on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.popcenter.org\/problems\/burglary_home\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">corner lots are bigger burglary targets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Increased neighbor &amp; association pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Because corner homes are often considered gateways to streets or cul de sacs and neighborhoods, the appearance of these homes are often held to a higher standard by the community and neighborhood associations.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>They&#8217;re harder to sell<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most realtors will tell you that corner lots are tougher to sell.
