Living on A Busy Street

Yesterday, I got a call from someone driving by a home that I have for rent. The house is on a busy street.  There’s great visibility when it comes to renting it, and it’s a great place to have a real estate sign. It’s free advertising for me. I get a lot of calls on this house.  But, not everyone wants to live on a busy street. It has a big fenced yard, with beautiful big shade trees.  But, for people with little ones they may be afraid that their kids may run out into the street. That certainly is a valid concern. 

The tenants that have lived in the house throughout the years have varied. Most had pets, but when I think about it, none of them had real small children.  One tenant brought home a pet cow one day. Boy, was my phone ringing off the hook with neighbors calling about that cow.  When I saw it, I had to chuckle. Now, I have to admit, I’ve never had a tenant bring a cow into a residential neighborhood, before. Oh, but with rentals there’s a first time for everything. 

None of the tenants that have lived in this house on the busy street seemed to mind the street out front or the traffic noise.  I suppose that different houses suit different people. 

Did I mention that the railroad tracks are 3 blocks away?
