We come from a very rural place, we could often go a whole weekend without a vehicle going past our driveway (except during hunting season when a couple of pick-up trucks would come by). There is no way we could ever live near a turnpike. That being said, the Villages has many residents migrating south from big northern cities who would not give a second thought to constant traffic noise, and some would not feel at home without it. So I guess it is to each his or her own preference. I would never tell someone to not get a home near a turnpike, but just consider both the price you paid given the noise, and the resale value.
