Inglehame Farms subdivision (rental, houses, college)

[prwdmd]

Can anyone tell me anything about the Inglehame Farms subdivision? I've been through there several times looking at houses and it seems very nice.

There's a former poster who bought a beautiful home there. I'll alert her to your post.

The only thing I will warn you about is the train tracks that run right next to the subdivision. This is an active line.

Personally, I wouldn't pay $650k for a house and have to listen to train whistles and rumbles numerous times each day. People say you get used to it, but based on my experience of living near freight tracks growing up and living 10 feet from the "El" in college in Chicago, you never get used to it. You learn to tolerate the annoyance.

My mistake- she's in Taramore.

The tracks are one concern of mine. They are, however, on the other side of Wilson Pike and at least 500 ft. away. Does anyone know how often the train goes by there?

One time I camped out over there (don't ask) and four trains went by between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.
During the day it goes by at least twice a day. It is a pretty active line. But it's not like the el or anything.

I lived almost one mile away from these tracks in a rental house in McKay's Mill. I could easily hear the trains at night with no problem, and there were hundreds of homes and trees as buffers. There are no sound buffers between the tracks and Inglehame Farms. If you are 500 feet away, it's going to be loud.

Something to consider though: after about a week, if you're not a light sleeper, you will likely get used to the train. But if you have a lot of guests who spend the night over, they probably won't have restful nights.
