Everyone will have an opinion. When I was looking, my dad had me so worried about being too close to the Turnpike that I became obsessed about it. I read so many posts with everyone’s opinions. One person loves the sound and opens the windows at night to hear it. I personally never leave my windows open at night so I thought, i don’t care about the turnpike as long as I can’t hear it inside. Well, I can hear it outside, barely and only if the situation lends itself. For example right now I can’t hear a thing. It’s so quiet outside. I hear nothing. I stood up on a chair and can see all the autos driving. I have heard it before but in the distance at night when I was outside but only because a truck drove by or something and made me aware of it. If you plan on leaving your windows open at night, then I’d say, maybe keep looking, otherwise, if you like the lot, go for it. I love Hawkins ( I assume that’s where you’re looking) I love all of south of 44 with the nature trails and the preserves. Yes, I guess the houses might be closer together but it feel more spread out to me with all the nature preserves. And I love love love Fenney. The houses seem more colorful to me too. Not sure.
