Front door or back if you have one? And why?

We have never used our front door, always the back door and I think it's more common to do so but looking at my neighbours, they all use the front door. Our driveway is to the side of the house so when unloading the car it's easier to go round the back as that's the kitchen side.

All who visit us, come to the back door too, there isn't even a door bell as it's a patio door so they just knock or see us through the glass.

Using the front door would feel abnormal now!

Our previous house everyone used the back door including deliveries as there was no access to the front door from the road. You had to go up a different street and park then walk through their street and down to ours.

This house there is no access to the back door as we can only access the garden through the house which is annoying in it's own way.
