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?

Your concern is exactly what we were concerned with being so close to TP, especially off Meggison. We chose DeLuna and got a lot and are in process of building. We chose closer to 301, which I'd imagine will also expand in the future, based on popular demand for the Village area and the saying, "If you build it, they will come." We've been up to see the building ongoing nearly weekly and the noise from 301 and TP are not noticeable. That's now, but as the area grows and traffic increases, noise pollution will undoubtedly increase too. We're leaving the Land o' Lakes, FL area off US-41 and US-54, where there's LOTS of noise all day/all night. We love our lanai, but the traffic noise is constant, hence we're saying so long to the area and moving to a new and hopefully very active and fun life. There's been plenty of terrific feedback from fellow Villagers to ponder over. Best wishes on your home selection!
