There are plenty of folks out there who are strongly opposed to living near a highway. Their arguments
include the noise factor and heavy traffic.
I like to look at the issue at the opposite side of the spectrum. You should think about the benefits of living
near a highway.
#1. You are closer to your destinations- You will be able to
cut the time it takes to get places by living next to a highway.
#2. Traffic sounds more like "white" noise than
automobiles. Speak to neighbors who live
near the highway and they'll tell you the sound is quite soothing. In the city you'd hear the constant sounds of
emergency vehicles.
#3. Landscaping used as sound buffers adds curb appeal to
your home.
#4. You have a reason to install that water fountain you've
always wanted.
#5. Your family and friends will know exactly how to get to
your house.
#6. The barking dog in the neighborhood isn't an issue and
neither is the teenager who throws wild parties every weekend.
#7. You can't hear a peep when you are inside.
