A realtor had mentioned the developer would leave a buffer of trees, but those trees have been removed for the most part.

I recall more than once when a developer or realtor made such claims. Prospective buyers need to get that in writing. One such claim realtor told people who were buying wooded lots that nothing ever would be built to disrupt their serene setting. Yet plans for a highway had been completed an lo and behold the trees around their homes gone and a four lane in their backyard. these homes were going for over $1 mill. We were fortunate because the realtor we had warned us to stay away from a new home not far from there because she was aware that this four lane was being readied
Another promise was that the existing railroad tracks that set behind their homes would eventually we removed because the tracks were no longer used. Again$1 mill homes. The trains ran regularly and often and a lawsuit ensued
