Yes, this is physically close to 99/Aurora but it really is surprisingly quiet. Two other things you should know not noted in the other insights. The yard has been effectively subdivided and a small two-story home is being built in part of the back...
yard. To accomplish this, this home is technically a condo. One of two units. The other unit being the small two-story home to-be-built in the back. From my discussions with the listing agent, this shouldn't impact your ability to get conventional financing. Also, even with a home going up in the back, this home still has plenty of yard!
