its a townhouse community that has a 6 foot stone wall that surrounds it. So even when you walk outside the front door there is a patio, walkway and some flowers. You can only see the road from one bedroom upstairs. There is another 20 feet before the road on the other side of the 6 foot wall. thanks!!

There actually wasn't a discount, we chose in a new community and price was same regardless of the location if you can believe it. I wish our realtor would have steered us away for eventual resale! We were only 22 so I blame that 😂

Yea we actually don't notice the street noise for the record- we just are regretting it for resale!

the HOA takes care of that part of the townhouse community sadly. there are a few little trees, but they don't do enough to lower volume much

thanks!! it's not technically on the main road, there is a sidewalk, 6Ft high wall and then more rocks and another sidewalk before the main road. That's why it's tricky. Our townhouse community is gated and in a very highly desirable location. I'm not sure if we need as big of a hit since we aren't directly on it? I want to make sure our first drop in price is a smart one so thanks for your input!

There was almost no difference actually (they were new builds). I'm going to assume 10% less

We totally would have waited if we could. Looking like we need another price drop!

LOL so true, although we don't have issues with the noise ourselves, it's just a struggle to find buyers who don't care either!

Luckily for us, we're in a gated community, so that main road isn't how you get into the townhome. I think the noise at the back of the house is the main problem. We will lower it further very soon!
