Lot size...Street frontage is important, but don't overlook depth.

Parking & Garage...Consider this important feature but don't forget to factor in any future plans. While you might own a small car now, will you have to buy a bigger one in the future if family planning becomes an issuse?

Corner lots...To avoid creating a tunnel-like apperance, corner lots are wider than normal. Meaning more grass to cut, ,ore sidewalk to clear of snow, more fencing to erect without a neighbour to split the cost.

Side of street...Homes on the west side recieve morning sun at the front and afternoon sun in the back. South houses bask in the sun at the rear, ideal for backyard enthusiasts.

Other factors...What street hardware (sidewalk, fire hydrant, overhead street lamp, hydro transformer box, stop sign, supermail box, bus stop) appear near the lot?
