Our another concern is this homesite also fits into the highway 0.3-mile high pollution band. Our agent said the road noise cannot be heard with surrounding wall. Would you please advice if you have some suggestions on these issues? TIA
Your agent is trying to sell you a house so don’t take his word for it. I lived a mile from the freeway with nothing but open ground between me and the cars you could hear it outside but not inside. People who bought thre were trying to get the developer to put up a sound wall and he said no they knew it was there when they bought.
