It’s not like traffic is 24/7 like a big city, both our boys (St Paul, Louisville) will actually walk instead of driving the traffic). Both went to Middleton sat watching drop offs, bands, practices, enjoyed just being around normal life, and not a bunch of very unhappy grumpy retired people who want zero noise.
I am in Richmond, can still hear the train whistle and wheels couple times a day, but especially at night. Funny I could hear same noise in Caroline (could hear certain bands, Pennacamp, Fernandina.
I am amazed that so many people came from areas that didn’t have traffic, must be why many are so upset with the amount of cars that “Get in their Way”, on the way to grocery, appointments and such.
We lived in an area with farms, lots of lakes, retail and grocery was 1/2 hour away.
Yet my 6.8 mile trek to work could take 11 minutes (emergency call 3am) , or during rush hour up to 45 minutes.
We sat outside on our lot in Richmond (4 streets away from turnpike noise, prior to homes built, we can hear humming of tires, close to the same as BV, but 90% less than backing up to any street in TV.
So before you buy take couple lawn chairs and just sit, if children, music, cars, or cart noise bothers you. Pick something else. Best thing about TV, you can buy, sell, move easily, and make a profit. Average move was 2.5 times, but could be more. We are on our fourth house, have many friends who move every couple years, just to be in the new area.
As far as the Coleman, one does realize prisons are all over the country, yet people live near them, drive by them (sign “don’t pick up hitchhikers), and work at them. Again if you fear being anywhere near where people are behind bars, and a fence, look elsewhere. My guess is if they breakout they will go as fast as they can, heading far away from the fence. Then maybe travel far north TV to grab clothes, and transport. But just my thoughts

i agree-living near Coleman has neither made my life better or worse, it is what it is. what you said about escapees wanting to get as far away as possible brings to mind that george carlin skit he had. & one day maybe the inmates will get golf carts too!
