hey everyone,
i am contemplating buying a home in WB/WBE that backs to sand canyon-- you can definitely hear the noise from the street if the windows are open or if you are outside, but it is pretty quiet with windows shut inside. just wondering:
- if any of you live off a major street and whether you get used to the noise or does it still bother you?
- would the noise be better at night vs. the day at all?
- is there anything else that would be a major factor-- big trucks on the street, burglaries?
- resale value (i assume most people would prefer a quiet, inside location vs. one that is near a major road, just wondering if there is an industry average for how much less a home is worth or how much longer it takes to sell?)
i like almost everything else about this place, and this is my one reservation so i appreciate any thoughts any of you have to share. thanks in advance for the input!
