How to say "pass by my house" in Korean?
Another italki member wrote this sentence as part of his notebook entry:
우리 집옆에 극장있서, 매일 사람들이 많이 와요.
There's a theater next to our place, so a lot of people come every day.
Well, to be clear, the people are not coming to "our place", they are coming to the theater.
In English, I might write
"There's a theater next to our place, so a lot of people pass by here every day." or
"There's a theater next to our place, so a lot of people pass by my house every day."
How would I change the original sentence to make it clear that the people are just passing my house on their way to the theater?
감사합니다!

지나다니다 is more natural if it is a repeated action.
"There's a theater next to our place, so a lot of people pass by my house every day."
우리 집 바로 옆에 극장이 있어서, 매일 많은 사람들이 지나다녀요.
