Just presenting possible issues. If they sell to an offsite buyer and if there was a contentious open issue such as a "Noise petition", that could be used by a Lawyer as non disclosure.

Kind of like if you had a leaky basement and didn't disclose it and then the new buyer had water in basement soon after buying your home.

I agree with you that the buyer should know but just saying there might be defenses against the developer saying you cannot sell for a profit in the first year.

Wow that is so cool!
Hope the attendant at the least got you a free drink.
Starting on a Monday the turnpike will be open every other day to provide respite.
Traffic is being rerouted to 27 until those residents complain of noise.

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.

Totally with you on this, sometimes in Linden we can't hear it at all, other times it's pretty loud. It didn't ever seem that loud when we visited the site before any of the homes were built. I'm not complaining and we love our home and location but sometimes it's a bit noisy.

That post was pure snark. You didn't realize that?

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

I'm just catching up on this thread and had to read several pages. Those responses you are referring to came after I responded.

Good luck getting something done now.

A lot of homeowners are purchasing their new TV home sight unseen.

Some people become biased in their decisions and fail to take into account the weight of the negatives of a particular area.

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.

I know, just scratch my head in bewilderment over this.

My readings on this site over the past 12 years leave me in awe of how ignorant and naive people who have lived on earth for at 55 years can be so ignorant.

I have seen the same syndrome in new developments build near existing airports.

Depends on what floats your boat.

Many can just ten off their hearing aids.

I'd take Turnpike noise over kissing Lanais any day.
