Thanks LuisR - I’m thinking this might be a better option for my wife…

Hi Kimgarwel - thanks for the feedback! Bonds appear to be in the $50K range and money is limited so will take your advice and look more in the northern areas too.

Thanks Coleprice, Mike Malloy, jrref, and everyone else. I appreciate all the advice and insight!

In summarizing the feedback:
- I would still hear the turnpike noise outside even around the Corbin Trail area north of Eastport square, and turnpike is planned to expand from 4 to 8 lanes in the future. Also a lot of congestion due to construction in the area.
- Consider more pre-own homes for sale up north so closer to shopping, doctors, etc given my wife's disability.
- Visit in person during months of June, July and August if possible. The heat is a concern so I'll try to check it out.
- Rec center and squares are accommodating for a person with walking disability which is great.
- Check floor plans for wheechair and rollator access. The KingBird seems to be a good option.
- Several village agent recommendations. Thank you!
- Several pointed out to do due diligence in checking out the areas in person if possible.
- Bonds in Eastport are expensive. I have found they are around $50k in the Oak Hollows area, but not sure if they are more in other villages around Eastport.

Thanks for all the help!

Keep in mind when looking at lots with no homes built yet that noise will travel more with nothing to stop it. Once homes homes, landscaping and other buildings are up it tends to mute a lot of noise. Except for pickleball, nothing mutes that sound!
