I’m on the far north edge of Richmond - I would guess about 3/4 of a mile from turnpike. I occasionally will hear a very distant hum on certain days if I strain and really attempt to listen for it. (And only when out on my lanai). I’m much closer to Brownwood than the Turnpike, and can often make out “Mustang Sally” being played by any number of bands.

People didn’t settle for homes in Richmond, there were 15-40 names per build lots and many spec homes. It’s not 2008, or 2020. If one take 5 minutes there are hundreds of homes to buy, so nobody has to settle for any house.
Like us Many sold in the northern areas of TV to move south of 44, so not like we haven’t lived here for many years.

At one year mark houses are selling from $80,000 to close to $150,000, above original price. Not bad profit for a year. Turnpike borders most of Richmond and has either golf course, private property, wetlands or woods before houses come close to turnpike, many are more than a mile away and No power lines.

There is no such village as Hickory Head. If you are referring to Hickory Head Hammock, that is a private village with their own gated entrance. It used to be the developers compound.
The nearest Amtrak station is in Sanford, FL. You may want to edit your post before you mislead posters with flat out falsehood.

My neighbor did this for the tee on a golf course. Ended up buying away from the course due to all the talking.

Wondering where this guy actually live.

I wouldn't buy near a tee or a green on a golf course. Especially an executive, they are busy 7AM to 7PM.

I'm about 1200 feet from the turnpike fence. I can hear the turnpike at night if I listen for it (only tractor trailers) but normally the background noise that I hear during the day is birds and golf carts. Doesn't bother me even 1%.

Not Much of a Peep
 

We have heard noise on rare occasions, but we aren’t too close (just off of the Meggison freeway). I’d say we are a little more than a half mile from it? 90% of the time nothing. Remember landscaping maturity will kill most sound eventually.

In a van down by the river!:laugh:

You sound like you think DeLuna and Richmond look like this.

One thing I've notice once you live somewhere long enough your body seem to adapt to its surroundings.
You might hear the noise if you're looking for it, but within a month or two you'll probably be saying what noise.

Everyone is different. I lived all my adult life right downtown chicago and I actually find the noise nice. It’s filled with energy. If it’s too quiet I really can’t sleep.

I remember my paternal grandma used to live directly behind London Metro Line where it surfaced above ground.
Dreadful racket, flashes from wheel sparks from live rail, and lighting.
When she came to stay with us, she had to go to sleep with radio and light on, as she couldn't stand the silence, or total darkness.
Horses for courses.

I am from Bucks County, Pa. We lived in a beautiful house there, but it was on a semi-busy road. I never liked it, never got used to it. Purchasing a house down here, on a quiet street, was a priority.

Stay far away, period.
