My aunt who's visiting from Sg just gave me her take on why not to live on a corner block.
"When it's windy, your house gets very cold because the wind can come in from any direction. Plus, you have a huge backyard with few trees to screen out the wind. If there are houses on either side of you, the wind comes in from only the front or back. Your house stays warm."
She was comparing the livability of my place with my cousin's. She considers my house cold (notwithstanding the recent insulation job) and my cousin's two-storey townhouse nice and warm as it's sheltered on both sides by houses and there are mature trees in the backyard.
Just another of those things we learn only from experience...
