Any other Milwaukee landlords have one a property looks out over the freeway - you know the ones that you see just south, north and west of downtown.

Did you feel you need to adjust the rent down much? I'm thinking it would be just a small factor.

Also thought that a benefit is that when its vacant you might be able to put up a For rent sign that's a little bigger that freeway traffic can see.

I would say on a duplex it depends on the windows. If they are modern and the rest of the home is nice it will probably not make a much difference.

On a SFR it will impair the use of the yard space in the summer, that will put you in the same category as a corner lot.

IMO a lot of major inner city roads are equal or worse than a freeway, because of ambulance and police cars, accelerating traffic and the occasional nonsense souped up car.

I down own a property on a major street, so this is just my humble opinion.
