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.
The realtor is not required to make such disclosures unless asked and then she is not permitted to lie. Best to have it put in writing so it will hold up in court. Don't be suckered into believing the "everything is fine" mentality that TVers and realtors seem to have.
