Buying a Home on a Busy Street

A busy road in Canada can be a big turn-off during your home search. But it doesn’t have to be a deal breaker.

The price may be lower. Homes on busy streets may go for lower. Houses on a quiet cul-de-sac tend to be pricier. A busy street may get you a deal.

Create privacy. Smart landscaping with trees or shrubs could block out the noise and view. You can also add a fence for the same effect.

Focus on the backyard. While the front may not be perfect, consider the backyard. An oasis in the back can give you the serenity you’re looking for.

With beautiful landscaping and a low price, you’ll forget about the busy road.
