My goodness I think I remember someone once telling me on a message board that is exaclty the street and address they lived on. That when they changed the street name where she lived to Mockingbird she immediately asked for the number 1313.
No way Was it a spooky old Victorian house too? Kill me now. I've been looking for one in Maine for years now and I can't find it. I wouldn't care what crazy name of a street it was on. For the right house I'd deal with it.
We went to Thanksgiving dinner last week at my relative's house on Blood St. We wouldn't likely buy a house on it.
Where I grew up there was Hiney Hill Rd. My own was funny and odd not to mention different on each end due to them being in different counties, but the best street name I know is one I have passed driving near the start of the Delaware river... Porn Rd!
There are streets here that make tongue twisters of the street being a variation of both and my first and last names (they are similar.) I'd find it amusing to live on one, but my husband disagrees. (Think Jim Jameson on 12 Jimson St.)
Would you still buy a house if it was on a street with silly or even embarassing street name? Does it affect property value?
I wouldn't really pay much attention to the street's name.
My present street's name is WAY too pretentious and snooty for my run-of-the-mill, lower middle class neighborhood. I just joke about it and it didn't keep me from buying my house.
