Would you buy a house if it was located on 100 Year Party Court? How about Poverty Lane? I live on Summit Avenue—a distinctly ordinary address—so I never gave much thought to street names until user powermuffin posed a question about wacky road names on the GardenWeb home decorating forum. Here are a few of the streets that GardenWeb users wouldn't want to live on:

"I almost bought a house several years ago in a development called Thornbridge. Most streets in the subdivision were Thorn-something-or-another: Thornberry, Thornway, Thornhill, Thorndyke, Thornbrook... The thought of all those thorns made me feel a bit prickly. (I was actually glad that my offer wasn't accepted on that particular house.)" —auntjen

"And another [street] I could never live on simply because I find the name so horribly pretentious: Winners' Circle." —sweeby

"We nearly bought a house on 'Grande Chateau Lane' [that] was neither grand nor a Chateau." —trk65

"I truly believe I could not buy a house on Hunky Dory Lane." —leahcate

And a couple where it would almost be worth it to buy the house just for the address:

"If a Queen Anne [house] I saw on Magic Circle hadn't been far too big and too run-down for our limited capabilities we would have snatched it up just for the address." —johnmari

"In another subdivision I loved the street names because they were horses. Quarter Horse Lane, Arabian Way, Pinto Trail, etc. I desperately wanted to have an address of Arabian Way but alas, none of the houses were appealing."—happyintexas
