I can't take credit for the expression "streets with stripes." One of my clients, who originally found me through Facebook and still follows me today, introduced me to the term. It has since become one of the questions I ask buyers when we're figuring out where they might want to live in The Villages.
A street with stripes generally means more traffic than you'll find on the quiet residential streets running through our neighborhoods. That doesn't make it bad, and plenty of people don't care. But here's the part buyers sometimes miss. You need to look at both the front AND the back of the house. Your home might be on a quiet residential street while your lanai backs up to a busier road with stripes.
When you're sitting on your lanai having morning coffee or an evening beverage, will seeing and hearing that traffic bother you? There isn't a right or wrong answer, but it's something you should think about before buying.
So, would a street with stripes be a deal breaker for you?
