I agree w Yorio and everyone else
Train has a soothing sound
We live in buttonwood and yes, we hear the trains ,but not an issue? i would say a neighbor's barking dog would be 100x worse than the train

Thank goodness, we don't have noisy dogs nearby!

I live in Buttonwood also, I agree with everyone else. It is just a distant soothing sound you barely hear indoors. I really don't think it would disturb anyone's sleep. I live off Triggerfish Run...I guess mid-Buttonwood.

We live in St. James which is adjacent to Buttonwood.

We can hear the trains on our linia especially at night but just barely hear them inside.

We both like the sounds trains make. We both lived near train tracks when we were young and must have got used to the sounds.

Actually, the train sounds were one of the reasons we picked St. James to build in.

I live in Buttonwood on Dorst Lane and hear the train only when the windows are open; and then it does not disturb me day or night. If you have the opportunity to buy here do it. You will love it.

I googled Tropicana train route Wildwood Fl. Below are just a few of the videos that came up. I live near Cane Garden CC and rarely hear them. When Tropicana is running juice up north there is a noticeable more frequency of trains going through Wildwood.

Enjoy the soothing sound!

Thanks!
I live in Buttonwood and hardly hear the train. Won't live anywhere else

I don't think the OP meant for this to happen but when a thread has a title that sounds negative about any village, naturally that isn't a good association and sticks in the minds of potential buyers and hurts the pride of the residents. A similar thing happened about Duval when someone said something like "Why are so many homes for sale in Duval, is something wrong?"

We are of course very proud and protective of our home village.

I don't know anything wrong with either Duval or Buttonwood.

It is sad that certain areas smell bad for short times in the summer. I wish that could be remedied.

It seems that all posters agree that Buttonwood does NOT have a problem. I agree too.

We live in Tall Trees and can also hear the train at night. It is actually a very soft and soothing sound.
