Unique Houses of Waterloo Region

I wonder how much use the street-facing terrace and balconies actually get?  It's a somewhat unusual use of space that would not appeal to many people, istm.

The side/street/path facing ones get used regularly. In the near-two years we've been across the road, neither my wife or I have seen anyone on the upper street-facing terrace for anything more than putting up Christmas lights.

I'm not surprised - sitting out there on the second floor (as opposed to sitting out front on a real veranda which, although no longer common, is wonderful) would leave me feeling "on display" like the Christmas lights!
