know the vista del lago complex on the foothill of battle mountain pretty well as we did live there in the past. Caminito Cantilena homes are on the freeway side. Caminito Pasadero are on the Pomerado side. Some of the Caminito Cantilena homes are really bad in that they get noise from Pomerado AND I-15!! On the other hand, there are some Caminito Pasadero that are quite insulated with at least a few rows of homes buffering Pomerado noise.
we use to walk loops around the complex at night and the difference is quite stunning.
here’s an example of a few sales:
18950 Caminito Cantilena 1861 sqft
–5/2010: $512k
18771 Caminito Pasadero 1869 sqft
–3/2010: $531k
18791 Caminito Pasadero 1800 sqft
–7/2010: $500k
doesn’t seem like the noise really make that much of a price difference. unless the Cantilena house was really upgraded. even if there is a price difference, I doubt it will ever make up for the noise. bottom line, try to avoid the freeway noise as much as possible.
