This house worked out perfectly for my family. It is close enough to the freeway for easy access without being so close as to hear any freeway noise. The wild peacocks other wrote about never bothered us and we didn't hear excessive noise from them as they tended to linger down the street. The layout of the house is perfect if you have kids that need to get to bed a little earlier while the adults stay up to talk or watch TV in the living room. The instructions for how appliances worked are extremely specific and we had no trouble with anything. The heated tile on the bathroom floor was a really nice feature!
