We are looking at a house that backs up to a busy road. ANyone ever use sound barrier fence before?

The house is very nice and the garage is sweeeet (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) ...BUT it close to road. Once the trees fill in we will not see the road but the sound might be an issue?? It's not bad just there (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Kerry I can tell your enamored of the house.. but before you go making an offer based on how much you like the house..

Think about what may become of the road the house backs up to..In the next 10-15-20 years.... is the road going to become a major thoroughfare? expansion of the town?

I only mention this from a BTDT perspective...

Id rather shop and find a house in a quiet location, that suits my needs...

Shop around some more..

Yeah, I went thru this a few years ago. The wife then loved this piece of property with a stream although it was next to this busy road. I prefered a different lot but we got this one (5 acres). Over a period of years the road became super busy and the county took about 1/2 acre to widen the road and builld a settlement pond. That destroyed the tree barrier I had planted and the noise was awful in the afternoons.
Went thru a divorce and sold the house and I am glad although I miss that 3 car garage.

If you can afford it, find something on a quiet street. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif)
