General observations from someone in newer - and may not matter to you:
We hear the turnpike. No big deal. It just sounds like humming or white noise or nothing.
The style of homes gets more modern when they are new; higher ceilings, sunnier, closer to new Rec Centers which are more modern design, facilities more geared to a younger crowd and newer inside unless redone. More stores for gifts, clothing, etc. in older, northern section but that could change - or maybe not. Disadvantage is the cart issue/turnpike bridge crossings if you are on either side so bottom line, yes, visit, go to everything, decide what you want to do every day. It’s not only about the house but I do think that I am happier in a younger neighborhood where] people try to create long-term relationships. Just me. My best advice is check out the clubs in Thursday paper to see their activities. Find out where they meet. Very important - It’s a big place. Restaurants? Dances? Street parties? We moved a lot, talked to everyone we met.
