Besides the crazy prices of new and used home is anyone concerned about these homes down the road?[/QUOTE]

Prices are crazy, I see Villas with 1600 feet selling for 500 K. We bought just North of Meggison in Citrus Grove and can sometimes hear the turnpike. That’s with a golf course and a couple ponds between us. The noise isn’t bad but is noticeable depending on the evening.

That said, why would anyone sink a half million into a house on the Turnpike? I wouldn’t bank (literally) on the noise being suppressed much. Don’t forget, there are plans to widen it. The Villages is building the Bexley bridge and has to accommodate for 2 extra lanes. If I were you, just enjoy the winters here and rent for a year or two or find another area away from the Turnpike.
