We are potentially buying a house on one of the main roads in westbury. Driven it a few times and the traffic isn't bad. What justooccurred to me is where do guests park? It would probably only happen a cOuple times a year, but where does overflow park that doesn't fit in the drive? We are moving to a big lot in order to entertain more.

The driveways are long and fit 3+ cars. We always park on a side street and walk to our friends home on Bellfort. Also, neighbors may share driveways on party days. Especially if you invite them to join in!

We also car pool. So, some will park at another house and all go together in one vehicle.

It's only a big deal if you have really large parties of 30+ people.

Hire a valet company or if you know a few trustworthy licensed teenagers get them to help. Contact the folks living on the nearest non busy street and inform them that you will be entertaining and your guests will be parking on the street. Thank them for their understanding. Have someone parking and someone looking after the vehicles on the street. Depending on how many guests you may need a few of each.

Sure its not free but your guests will feel like rockstars.

My first house was on Willowbend, so no street parking was allowed. We were lucky because we were only a couple of blocks from a side street, so overflow parked there. Otherwise, the long driveway helped!

If it's a main road in Westbury (W. Bellfort/Willowbend/Chimney Rock/Hillcroft,etc), chances are traffic is bad.

I wouldn't prefer to buy on a main street but of all the ones in westbury west belfort would be the worst by far. Id really be pressed to do that. Chimney rock willowbend even hilcroft are actually much less busy
