[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  That was absolutely my reaction, too, when the listing agent told me about it.  I asked her if I would then be hearing the noise from the pool when I was in the backyard, and she looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "No one else has ever asked that.  Everyone else is happy that it would be such a short walk for their kids."  I guess she was bullshitting me!  :-D[/quote]

OP, realtors are notorious liars. They'll do anything for a sale. We were looking at a house that was a few blocks from the beltway. I said I wanted to go into the backyard (rather than look at it from inside the house) to see if we could hear any noise. Well, yes, we could clearly and fairly loudly hear the rumble of traffic and cars. Our realtor looked me dead in the eye and said, "What noise? I don't hear a thing."

Noise in the backyard when you are next to a community pool would be intolerable. You would never be able to use your backyard peacefully in the summer.[/quote]
