Would you buy a house with a shared driveway?

[rubygreta]

I have a 60' lot, and I'm protected by seasonal hedges on both sides.

Not only would I not buy a house with a shared driveway, I would not by a house where the property line ran through my driveway and the neighbor's driveway.

A 60-foot lot is not much. And I like my neighbors. But I also like not having to see them when I'm in my yard.

We have one with a neighbor that's easy to deal with. Would I recommend it? Probably not because that can change (if it was ever good in the first place). But if you really like this home, go for it.

well after 7 years there with all good, the neighbor went and built him self a Mc mansion house else where in town and by the time he finished it in 07-08 the market crashed and he was unable to sell the old house next to me.... so He put it up for rent... that's when it all went down hill...the renters and there ghetto cruisers parked all over the place, to the point sometimes we couldn't squeak by to get in our out of our back drive way... this happened with renter after renter, 3 years 3 different renters, so ignorant... was like dealing with people with 65 IQ's.. after the 3rd year of this I put my house up for sale and move to my now house witch is on a double lot.... no more dealing with A hole neighbors .....

ghetto neighbors, low IQ
that sounded painful

personally, i'd never do it. there has to be certainty where the line is drawn, sharing spaces will just lead to complications
