Finished building recently and went for a traditional neighboured block in a court. CORNER BLOCK Have owned a corner block before (on the corner of a quiet street and court) and it just seemed to take forever to mow the nature strip (funny how some things stick in your mind). Was good in that you only had neighbours on one side and the size of our back yard wasn't a problem as we had a high brick fence running down probably 2/3rds of the side of the court so the front section was still typical of a normal front yard (normal for the times the house was built). LANEWAY Wouldn't be comfortable with the security issues of my property or the disturbance potential from kids etc. hanging around the laneway. Even if they are just using it as a thoroughfare to elsewhere, (where is this laneway going to?), kids tend to lurk in areas where they think they are more private, and why do they need privacy, they are usually up to no good!! You also need to check whether you would be able to access your property via this laneway as most Regional and Melbourne councils have council by-laws which prohibit parking or driving on nature strips (although most residents are ignorant of these laws councils do tend to enforce them occasionally) and if the council that the block your contemplating has the same by-laws, you may find that that won't be a benefit of this block. I suggest doing some more research and checking with real estate agents as to whether it generally would be considered a positive or negative as the posts above show people have different views on it and they as professionals should be able to give you a more informed perspective of what buyers prefer. Good luck and let us know what you decide.
