About this term

Through lots have increased through-traffic and less privacy. Generally worth less than similar cul-de-sac or interior lots. Increased noise and exposure.

Pro Tip

Through lots are typically priced at discount because privacy and quiet are compromised. Only purchase through lots if the discount outweighs the lifestyle impacts.

Example

A through lot between two roads with unwanted traffic and limited privacy.
