Again, as The Villages expands, it gets closer and closer to other outside elements that will affect the quality of life in the bubble. We recently (6 months ago) moved into our 2nd home in the Village of Chatham, which we love. One of the unique features to this area are the trains that run the length of 301 many times daily and nightly. I'd estimate that we are about 3 miles from the tracks and still hear the horns and the rumbling trains. We knew this before purchasing and it does not bother us at all.
Fast forward to the new Villas and Chatham Acres that are currently under construction, just to the west of the First Baptist Church on CR 42. These new home will be less than a mile from the tracks and there will be no muted sounds as those trains rumble through and sound their horns at every intersection day and night.
I guess I'm wondering what kind of spin The Villages sales agents are putting on this kind of a distraction.
