The three determining factors for properties selling are price, location and condition. Price is always king and thousands of people already live adjacent to the Turnpike. Noise is usually minimal because of a wall and landscaping and not what you might think. In addition, while you may not have wildlife you will have privacy. Not everyone thinks the way you do and the houses built along a wall will sell.

Just a thought, but perhaps this is a community where there should be no age restriction. The Leesburg area is different from TV in all respects and perhaps by removing the 55+ age requirement, it will appeal to a larger audience. Not everything the developers build has to be an age restricted community.
