[quote=EmilyHicks]I am about to move to a house with its back to Calle Cristobal Blvd in Mira Mesa. Calle Cristobal is no freeway but I have seen people driving 50+ mph on this street. I know it will be noisy. I have lived in a similar house for 4 years. You will get used to it. However, double pane windows and doors are required. These windows and doors can cost up to $10,000 for a house.[/quote]
Personally, I don’t think even triple-paned windows will cut it. I’ve been recently in a couple of houses with the yard against Calle Cristobal. The noise was simply too much for us, even inside the house, even with double windows – which they had. I didn’t want to get used to it. But that’s just me – obviously.
