Participant[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.February 25, 2011 at 9:36 PM #671463Participant[quote=EmilyHicks]I am about to move to a house with its back to Calle Cristobal Blvd in Mira Mesa.

Participant[quote=ocrenter][quote=sdrealtor]Thats funny OCR, I used to live there also. In 1996 I rented a condo at 18674 caminito cantlena before they were converted to condos. Our unit was far away from the freeway and had no noise at all but some do sit right on the freeway. maybe we passe deach other I used to walk my dog every night and walk loops around the complex as well.[/quote]

ParticipantOur new house is about 3/4 of a mile from the freeway with several houses in between, we do hear it, especially when it is really clear or we are having a Santa Ana. it is not particularly loud, but it is annoying. We can’t open the Master bed windows at night, however we have a good ceiling fan and we can open the bathroom window, so it is OK. A nice water fountain can mask the noise pretty well, if you really like the house and it is a good deal, put in a water fountain.
