Okay, a lot of I believe and I heard on this topic. So here are some basic facts about the specific area. I live in DeSoto south of Fenney Way so we are fairly close to the prison. We have never heard announcements or sirens or any noise. From our location we can’t see any of the lights. We do hear the turnpike in the morning when everything is quiet. We do have the occasional blast from the quarry. We don’t hear it but you can definitely feel it. In the early morning hours you can hear the cement plant and the trucks backing up (beep, beep, beep). But I do not hear the plant during the day.

For the specific area (Well Point) it is further away than we are to the cement plant and closer to the turnpike. I have driven on Marsh Bend at night and you can see the lights of the prison. It would depend on the specific location of the lot as to what you could see at night. Personally I think it is going to be one of the better new areas as it will be a lot closer to established amenities than the places south of 470. There is also the last part of Richmond that will be built that will be really popular because it is so close to Brownwood. Best of luck and make an informed decision.
