What did the developer not disclose? The existence of the turnpike? There’s a cool new tool, called goolge maps.

So, it absolutely depends on WHEN you are outside/viewed the house, if a buyer even had the chance to do so in-person, as we did.

I can also attest that certain blocks of homes within the very same village, one can not hear the turnpike at all, (same with music from Sawgrass) while the next block over, even on a block of homes that is further away from source, it was impossible to miss. Sound can do weird things.

Where did you hear that? They will never close the turnpike. Truck drivers need to supply food and gas, people work all hours.

Probably the same way you didn’t realize that post was addressed early.:mornincoffee:

For most likely the biggest purchase ever made, how do people not look and listen before signing on the dotted line?

Good luck getting something done now.

As someone that lives in DeLuna, I'm confident that over 80% of DeLuna doesn't experience excessive turnpike noise. I can hear a dull hum from my lanai which is like background noise, but it's nothing like golf cart noise when you're backing onto Morse or Buena Vista for around 16 hours per day.

For the remaining 20% of DeLuna, those are almost exclusively smaller courtyard villas with a miniscule backyard. Clearly these were aimed at people that wanted a more affordable option at the sacrifice of space and some irritating turnpike noise.
