Great location, but many lots close to turnpike. Question - I don’t mind a distant hum of noise, but how far away from turnpike should I be so I don’t hear much noise?
If you are asking this question then find an area away from the Turnpike. As many have said at night and early morning when it's quiet you Will Hear the trucks on the Turnpike. Also you will be breathing in the pollution as well. No wall or landscaping or stacked homes will stop this noise. If they ever expand the turnpike then you may really be in trouble with noise. I used to live near the turnpike and it's endless noise and pollution from the trucks.
