Prospect St. Maplewood / South Orange Noisy? (house, school, living in)

[SallyHally]

I am thinking of making an offer on a house on Prospect St.
Will the noise be very intense? I realize this is a very personal question, but I am also new to the area and can't really tell how intense the car traffic is.
I don't like street noise very much but have managed true city living in the past. Does anyone live there or on a similar street in the area?
Many thanks for your insight!

depends on your tolerance. its is busier than a side street but its definitely not bumper to bumper

[SallyHally]

thank you, mumra. I guess the question is what is my tolerance....not so great, actually.

That road is busiest during the AM school/work rush; after that it doesn't seem like it's "noisy" busy. I don't know, I don't think you'd really notice it, but really the best way to tell is to hang out there as much as you can, during different parts of the day/night, and see if it bothers you. It'd be inconvenient, but hey, it's a long-term thing so it's worth taking your time to check it out.
