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 plan to have a screened lanai and be outside a lot, be careful of the noise. There was a recent YouTube video where someone took a noise reading at Richmond and it was fine so long as it wasn’t near the turnpike. But those lots are already slowly being released and selling fast if you are building. Don’t forget preowned homes too - lots of newer homes all over for sale! You have many choices - spend lots of time looking.
