Our last house was on a corner and I had no issues with it at all, although it was in a relatively quiet spot. We had easy access to our backyard which was a huge plus and a bigger backyard than others around us as we moved our house over to the side which allowed us to have a big side yard which worked perfectly with our house design. We did notice we had more mowing with most of it being the bit out the front and side that council "officially owns"
I always find when driving around it's the houses on the corners that I notice the most too, I think you have to put more effort into fencing and landscaping.
