Okay, a lot of I believe and I heard on this topic. So here are some basic facts about the specific area. I live in DeSoto south of Fenney Way so we are fairly close to the prison. We have never heard announcements or sirens or any noise. From our location we can’t see any of the lights. We do hear the turnpike in the morning when everything is quiet. We do have the occasional blast from the quarry. We don’t hear it but you can definitely feel it. In the early morning hours you can hear the cement plant and the trucks backing up (beep, beep, beep). But I do not hear the plant during the day.

For the specific area (Well Point) it is further away than we are to the cement plant and closer to the turnpike. I have driven on Marsh Bend at night and you can see the lights of the prison. It would depend on the specific location of the lot as to what you could see at night. Personally I think it is going to be one of the better new areas as it will be a lot closer to established amenities than the places south of 470. There is also the last part of Richmond that will be built that will be really popular because it is so close to Brownwood. Best of luck and make an informed decision.

I would not worry about prisoners escaping! I would be concerned with the nature of the businesses close to my home. If they blast, you will feel it. I lived near a high school field and they can be noisy, players, music, loudspeakers and cheering people. Not for me thanks.

We had a prison not far from our lake house, and never had a worry that it was there. But I guess those who worry about a prison came from that small town, that was sheltered from outsiders.

You can be 1000 feet from Brownwood square in the evening and barely hear the music. The Coleman prison buildings are much further away from an future homes than 1000 feet.

Very sorry, knew what you meant, that was a poor attempt at a joke.

Well, having moderated multiple music forums (talk about herding cats!), I've found that most confusion and many arguments can be avoided by doing just that.

Of course, YMMV...

People speak of the cement factory only in the context of view. I’d be more worried about potential health hazard of living in close proximity of a cement factory (there are many studies on the subject that one can search and draw their own conclusions). For me anyway, it makes Moultrie Creek a non-starter. But again, do your own research on the subject and make your own judgements.

The more I read about all these not so prime locations that are being developed, the more I wish these Morse kids would take a breather and develop ONLY prime property like north of 44. Sorry, just had to say it.
