However, when we went back with the sole intention of gauging the turnpike noise you can definitely hear it if you're listening for it. We were looking at a house that was very close to the Swallowtail pool so I was surprised I could still hear the noise with so many rows of houses between the house we were looking at and the turnpike. It's a really nice area and you definitely don't hear the turnpike noise when you're in your house, but, if you love sitting in your lanai the noise might get old. NOTE: Our realtor said (or maybe my wife, can't remember) that as the foliage matures in the area the noise should be reduced.

Most Villagers have guests from time to time. I wouldn’t want to spend $$$$$$ for a real nice home and my guests be upset for the few days we were trying to visit. On the other hand, guest might be more inclined to leave after a couple of nights and that could suit others on this forum. Maybe joking.
Just saying it comes down to personal choice of whether to save a few dollars on the initial purchase and lose an equal amount if and when you should sell.
