As others have said, you need to spend some time in the neighborhoods at different times of the day. Look at placement of your house, and just not in consideration of turnpike noise. Consider pickleball courts, other main roads which are often just as noisy as the TP, proximity to shopping centers (deliveries), and golf courses (mowing). There are other factors that you won't know until you move in, such as neighbors with wind chimes, TVs on their lanai, loud music.
I don't think so.......I've never seen trucks zooming along Morse Blvd or Buena Vista at 75 MPH. Not going to happen.
