Reply to comment by tesla3by3 in Moving from Dallas? by [deleted]

The advantage to me is that I’m a horribly horribly lite sleeper and since they are a pain to get in and out of and horribly out of the way, they tend to be extremely quiet. Im willing to put up with a few annoying letters about cutting the grass or putting the trash can behind the fence for the quiet.

I, for one, support the idea of you living very (very) far away from the actual city!

My point is there are quiet places that don’t have gates. The poors won’t bother you. Lawn service doesn’t start until 8:00am. The druggies sleep til noon.

As others have said, no gated communities. As a fellow light sleeper (and insomniac), the better investment would be allocating funds toward insulating the house and potentially installing high-grade windows. The city isn't particularly loud in most neighborhoods compared to other cities, but a lot of the houses, including new builds, have shitty insulation that allows you to hear everything and leads to higher heating prices. Decent-sized yard + good insulation and you'll be fine.

Yeah, you won’t find HOAs here either. Also, this town is much quieter in general than big cities in Texas. And you won’t find privacy fences everywhere.
