That's true when in your backyard or sitting on your lanai, and that's only if your neighbor is out in their yard doing work or talking. If you're inside your CYV you won't hear a thing from neighbors, maybe if they are power washing the driveway you might hear that. We have a masonry CYV and I have never heard anything inside from the neighbors. In fact, I have a pretty awesome surround sound system with huge speakers and when I turn it loud and walk outside, I cannot hear it at all. Usually if you're in your backyard the biggest maker of noise will be a neighbor's dog, our neighborhood for the most part is very quiet.

That area in question will be a busy area. We live in Tamarind Grove, which is just north of 466A and near Buena Vista. It's about as central as you can get between Brownwood and Lake Sumter, 3-1/2 miles either way. If I were purchasing now, I would look for a used CYV in the Duval, St. James, Gilchrist or Pinellas areas. The only negative with our village is when travelling by golf cart we must travel 1/2 mile to 1-1/2 miles on the side of St. Charles to reach Buena Vista. I'm no fan of riding right next to cars at 35 mph when I'm in my cart. Duval, St. James and Gilchrist you can reach Buena Vista cart paths easier and Pinellas is close to Pinellas Plaza which is much less congested than Colony. Also the new Lowe's Shopping center that is under construction is close to those villages.
