I will be relocating in 2025 and would like to have a baseline for this issue.
I thank you, all, in advance for your observations.

Every time I read these posts, I wonder why anyone would buy a house where they can hear traffic noise whether it be from the Turnpike, 466, 466A, Morse, or Buena Vista. What do these people gain by buying in these locations? Do they get a reduced price? Do they want easy access to the Turnpike or the major streets? Why buy in a high-traffic location, including golf cart traffic, when there are thousands of similar houses at similar prices that are in quiet areas and free from all traffic noise?
The best advice we were given when we began looking for a house in TV was to avoid all houses near a street or roadway which had a "yellow stripe". That includes the interior main streets in a Village as well as Morse, BV, 466, 466A and the Turnpike. I often play the Palmer course. Every time I am playing the holes that parallel 466, I wonder if the owners of the $M houses in Bridgeport which face 466 gave any thought to the constant drone of traffic they would hear when they spent their money. I have the same thought when in a golf cart on any course and pass within "spitting" distance of the lanai of the houses lining the course.
