Dabney and 470, is noise an issue? Maybe Moultrie Creek instead...
Looking into the patio villas that back up to 470 in Dabney. There is a fence, does that help with road noise? We are relocating from the Boston area and the front of our home sits about 30 feet off of a busy road. No fence. So I'm not familiar with how the fence blocks the sound, or if it doesn't.
I do like the idea of the fences in Dabney, I think it adds some nice privacy. The other option is the new villa's that are available in Moultrie Creek. Decisions decisions Thank you! Kimberly |

I can't answer on Dabney with a fence. I live in Lake Denham. It seems the turnpike noise is much worse. However, 470 at Dabney to the bridge over the turnpike has some of the worst paving I've seen. There is a plan to change 470 in this area to 4 lanes. That will result in nicely paved new roads so I'm hoping that the noise is lowered.
I can tell you that the weather makes an incredible difference on turnpike/470 noise. If it's cool and clear it's very loud at my house in Lake Denham. |

We live four streets from the turnpike with a wall, then private property. In the house backyard or pool, you have no idea what is beyond.
Depending on the weather we have humming noise which most don’t notice.

We toured some of the Veranda Homes in Dabney. They we next to 470 and noise was an issue even with fencing and this was at midday.
We definitely want a Veranda home. Hoping they will open some lots for those in Shady Brook. We still have to sell our home so we’re hoping to purchase this fall. |

Our oldest just looked at verandas in Dabney backing up to 470, they found no issues with road noise. Their last house was just off 6 lane highway in St Paul. So 470 was quite for them. They request front bedroom hopefully have some humming turnpike noise to sleep

The noise from billy bob pickups with cut out mufflers woke us at 5am most mornings. You couldn't have a conversation on the phone sitting on the Lanai. 470 will be widened to 4 lanes. Last edited by Altavia; 03-16-2024 at 06:10 AM. |

Do not buy within 1 mile of those roads. The noise varies wildly depending on temperature, humidity, wind direction. A far better option is a resale in northern portions and for many many reasons besides noise.

The villages is so big, why would anybody want to build next to a hwy? Fence or no fence, you will hear the traffic. If you think making 470 into 4 lanes will make it quieter, there is a reason why they need 4 lanes, and that’s because of more traffic coming, not less.
Also, this area is so far away from any activities. If you want to take your golf cart to golf anywhere near the 466a area, or go to Brownwood or lake sumter square in a golf cart, you will need to leave the day before. Plus the added cost of Leesburg taxes/bond, why?? |
