We were told by our Villages realtor that there are sections in these villages where you won't here the turnpike noise. For the most part that is true because when you look at them during the day all you hear is construction noise. We made a visit to these areas on a Sunday night and were shocked at how loud it is. We are really surprised that these houses are still selling like crazy even with the loud highway noise.
Besides the crazy prices of new and used home is anyone concerned about these homes down the road?

You might want to widen your scope and look at resale houses a little further north (aka above 44), these areas are much closer to the current shopping areas as well as dining and entertainment. Also, very few of these areas are near any major roads or railroad tracks. I know the prices are high, the hose next door went for $1.2 million a few months ago, but you get an established neighborhood, very little construction, etc.
Hope your hunt for a future home goes well.
