Village of Woodbury & noise from Rec Center

[NewJerseyBoy56]

looking at a house on SE 167th Ford Street, around five houses from the Rec Center...since they may be closed right now, does anyone know if that is too close and will we hear people playing pickleball?

thank you!

[Topspinmo]

Are talking About the pool and shuffleboard courts? I don’t think ford street nowhere near mulberry rec center where the pickleball courts are? At least mile away and big building between?

Check out if neighbors are doing cardio drumming in the morning too.

thank you!Do you mean a courtyard villa because that street is in the Phillips Villas. The pool in there has one bocce and one shuffleboard. No pickleball noise as Topspinmo stated.

[Gonavy]

I live on Ford Street and hear nothing. If the wind is just right...and you listen really hard...sometimes you can hear Cody's Music.

[NewJerseyBoy56]

thank you all....it has a electric stove; hoping it's equipped with a gas line so I can put in a gas stove

Pickleball is back on. My guess is you’d hear it (starting early in the morning) if you’re sitting on your lanai with windows open. Smart question to ask, I’m sure many buyers near the courts didn’t ask. Another key thing that often is not considered — does the lanai face west? If it does, it will get very hot in the afternoon. There was a thread on here recently about lanai directions.

Yes, that is a very, very smart question to ask.

We were walking thru the new area of DeLuna and saw a house being built right behind the pickle ball courts at the new Water Lily rec center. Of course, it is quiet now because the rec center is not open, but when it opens the new homeowners will be if for a surprise.

And if it's facing east you have sun in your eyes all morning, our's faces west, we us our lanai mostly in the morning and it's perfect. Since our driveway faces east I can wash the cars in shade during the afternoon and our garage does not have the hot afternoon sun shining against it. Both directions have their good and bad points. In the winter you will want that afternoon sun on your lanai.

Maybe there Pickleball players, we don’t hear the noise. Like flathead on straight pipes it’s not noise , it’s music. :1rotfl:

Phillips Villa does not have gas.

Our birdcage faces west/south west and we absolutely love the orientation. Dinner while watching the sunset is absolutely fabulous. Sure it gets hot, but it's Florida, so that's what we expect.

thank you! We live at 8460 SE 167th Forsyth St. Our courtyard villa is 15 units in from the pickelball courts. Plenty of distance. We like to play pickelball but don't want to hear it..

I lived about a quarter of a mile from Fish Hawk rec center and could hear people playing Pickleball when outside.

yes you will hear the pickleball court. Sound travels. If i were you i would look for another house.

The closest pickle ball courts to Phillips Villas is about 3/4 mile or more away. We live in Phillips next to.pool and do not hear anything ever. Phillips is a very quiet neighborhood isolated from traffic and noise. Inside your home there you can not hear any noise outside except maybe thunder. There is no gas lines, however I do know one home on Ford St. had propane installed for a gas stove. I am not sure what it cost, but obviously can be done. The utilities in those homes is very reasonable because they are so well built and insulated. Because of the way they are placed, the sun does not effect the lanai's.

Oh you'll hear them! Of course it depends on your hearing and tolerance for noise, but I couldn't live that close to pickleball. I love to do it, but not so much hear it while I'm trying to read a book!

[allsport]

Check out if neighbors are doing cardio drumming in the morning too.

And if you find them, join them because it is wonderful for your health and welfare and tell the old guy to turn down his hearing aid.

[greenflash245]

too noisy there.

[Michael Charles]

I would simply do my due diligence and go to that location or any other I was considering to buy and just sit there at different times of the day for an hour or so and listen for diffenent noises. Then I would go again to observe different sun rises and sunsets to determine if certain conditions exists that matter to you. Good luck.

I live across the street from the villa for sale. We hear nothing from the mulberry rec center a mile away!and we hear no noise from the pool. No gas lines in PhillipsVillas[/QUOTE]

[bmit16]

It is very obvious by some of these comments that the people talking have no idea where Phillips Villas are in relation to the pickle ball courts at Mulberry Recreation center. There is Forsythe Villas across from the Mulberry Rec Center, but that is not what the OP is asking about. Philips is far away to the east of the rec center on the east side of the VA hospital. I just measured and it is almost a mile away with the rec center, Codys, Walgreens, a nursing home, several medical buildings, Beef Obradys Publics, the VA hospital a huge field, and a wall between the homes and the PB courts, no way you can hear anything all the way up there. Please do not listen to people that have no clue. Go see for yourself any morning.

[Pommom91]

thank you all....it has a electric stove; hoping it's equipped with a gas line so I can put in a gas stove

You might want to check to see if gas service is even offered in that area.

[wiltma]

Probably not

[bpascani]

We had a propane tank buried in our backyard (required by TV), with gas line to summer kitchen and new gas kitchen stove. We used Fireplace installers. They were awesome. Handled all of the permits, inspections, etc.

No real Rec center near that. One question is why would you want to Buy in a Village so far away from everything. It will take 30 minutes to get to the Town Squares. I live in Woodbury and it takes almost 25 minutes for us by Cart

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

All my homes I’ve preferred facing west I spend more time on lanai in morning , I do have a drink or coffee at night around 6 but I have sun shades that stop the glare but I can still see out . Yes it warmer but you look ve in Florida not back home , get used to it

[sallyh26]

Woodbury has no areas that I know of that are close to a rec center.

[Topspinmo]

Wrong, too far from mulberry and you got traffic on 42 and building’s between. Like someone said may hear Cody’s faintly from there cause it closer and angled and sound travel Down mulberry lane.

[Topspinmo]

Woodbury has no areas that I know of that are close to a rec center.

I think Phillips villas are considered in Woodbury?

[DonnaNi4os]

I know that street and it’s no where near a rec center or pickle ball courts. It is a few houses from the pool which should not cause any excessive noise. Good luck in your search for a home. That street is in Phillips Villas. It’s a great community.

[DonnaNi4os]

They are not doing cardio drumming there. The only things close is the pool and shuffleboard court. It’s a quiet neighborhood

[DonnaNi4os]

There is no gas in Phillips

[DonnaNi4os]

Ford is vey far from the pickle ball courts. There is absolutely no way you could possibly hear it!

Some of us got tired of square’s and don’t like setting at traffic light with 30 cars ahead of you which what you get around 466a.
