Evergrene and ---- TRAIN NOISE

[gomexico]

Having lived in Chicago much of my life, most of my life, I'm accustomed to the sounds of freight trains and elevated trains (public transit). I'd feel a bit lost without hearing the sounds in the distance. I've thought about moving to WPB, as one possible option in retirement, and hadn't thought about trains. Thanks for the mention.

Same here. but the HOUSE shakes. Not to mention -- What type of stress does this put on the structure???

I moved into a house in Evergrene two months ago. Previously, I lived in the tranquil mountains in the Vail Valley of Colorado. I live on the "east" side of Evergrene - which would be closest to the track. Yes, I hear the train. Every once in a while (not every train) you feel the bed vibrate a bit.....but nothing as severe as people are describing. Matter of fact, I rarely even notice the "noise" of the train. Evergrene is situated in one of the most convenient areas - close to everything. Not to mention the safety of this community and the upkeep - it's impeccable. We're renting now, but plan to buy next July when our lease is up. This is from a girl who lived 14 years near nothing.....literally 30 minutes from a McDonalds......
