    Hi:

    We are considering a home in west PQ area which backs up onto Black Mountain road. It is great neighborhood and as we all know an excellent school district that is tipping us in favor of this home.

    The home itself is quiet with windows shut, but the backyard is noisy(though the in between slope has quite a few trees diffusing the noise). The wall itself is only 3ft tall,would raising it or adding plexi-glass help reduce the noise? Anyone has thoughts on this. Does this make it a hard resell in the future?

    Also, heard about some recent thefts in the area, anything to be concerned?

    Thanks for your responses.

    We used to live in that area. Very quiet back then. Black Mtn Rd ends near there so traffic was minimal. However with Carmel Valley Rd now open to 4S Ranch, traffic could be a lot different.

    Backing up to a noisy road will always impact your resale value. We would never live in a house backed up to a noisy road. Been there, done that. But if you’re getting a good deal and the noise doesn’t bother you, no big deal. When you want to sell, you’ll just pass on that good deal to the next buyer.

    Also, Oviedo St west of Black Mountain Rd is known as “Christmas Card Lane” in December:

    Thanks for the feedback. This one is to the south of 56 & West of Black Mountain.

    Is rush hour traffic also pretty bad there?

    The area you’re looking at is called Park Village. Nice area. Easy access to 56 and lots of shopping just north of the 56.

    However, Black Mountain Rd south of the 56 gets a lot more traffic. Your backyard could get pretty noisy at rush hour. Also, the ‘day labor’ crowd peddles their services right under the 56 overpass.

    If it were me, I’d look a few blocks west and get away from Black Mountain Rd. Something like this for a few bucks more:
