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

We live between the turnpike and 501. We are closer to 501 that the turnpike. I’m guessing 1/2 mile to the turnpike. We don’t here any noise in the day outside. Late at night or early morning you can hear some noise. Nothing ever in the house.
As others have suggested, ride to the area without the agent and do some checking on your own, especially at different times of day. If you can hear it now you will hear it then. As buffers are built and barrier plantings mature the sound will muffle some.
