Cliff notes: consider all areas.

That is why we rented for a month last year before we came back to purchase. Knew what was important to us and where it was located.

I have heard people say that you can hear the quarry blasting and sometimes the loudspeakers from the nearby Federal prison. My husband and I will take a cart ride, when the bridges and tunnels are completed, to that area, but we've joked that we'll need to pack a picnic lunch to make the trip.

I don’t know about the quarries in the south or how much noise they make but I know the ambulances in my north neighborhood wake me up frequently.

Absolutely look at preowned homes N of 44. Find an agent who shows those as well..

Be sure to go at night. Traffic noise around 9p.m. Ramps up with all the big trucks. It becomes much louder. Also because there is less daytime noise to distract. BUT. If you live near water you also get a lot of nature noise around that time too. So, it’s best to check out any house your interested in both day and night.

Hello! We have a Cedar for sale in the Village of Lake Deaton...VERY close to Brownwood! MANY upgrades have been done including a lanai that's 70% larger than original!
If you go to the Villages website and home search or a Cedar on Indianwood Rd. you will find our listing.
Thanks!
