Do I buy?
Hello, So we are considering buying a house that checks all the boxes. Big wooded lot, fairly new built, custome built. Away from the main city but also very close. Not a cookie cutter house. Good price.
The catch? It's roughly 100 meters away from the highway so the highway is literally in our backyar. There are big trees in the backyard but they don't block the noise. No sound barriers whatsoever. Think of it as an exhaust fan running constantly. Producing loud white noise. This is why the house is at a good price and has been sitting on the market. No noise inside the house though/perhaps very little if you pay attention to it. But if you open the windows, it's a different story. The street has some million dollars houses on it and we knocked at one of the doors and talked to the neighbours. The lady had kids and a dog and said the noise doesn't bother her family. We are a young couple and the reason why we are shelling out so much money is because we like nature amd outdoors. Reason why we are moving away from city to be close to nature.
TLDR; The house we're considering to buy ticks all the boxes but one. There is highway a hoghway 100 meters away. Should we buy or no? Please help!
