The NOISIEST neighborhood we’ve ever lived.

We moved from a luxury apartment to this townhouse thinking that we can have some quietness. Now this is what we get: Every Tue & Wed & Thurs you’ll hear some loud, distracting and irritating lawn mowers for hours from somewhere. Why? Cause their two neighborhoods are connected and landscape areas are too large. They do different landscape maintenance everyday. Sometimes is the tree cutting, sometimes blowing leaves you name it. Wednesday’s the worst,... not a single break from 10am to 5pm. The mowers go over each grass for THREE times, that’s why it takes a full day to cut the grass, how impressive.

How bad is it? With all the windows closed, with your noise cancelling headphones on, you still won’t be able to hear the music(why music? Cause I’m trying to focus and work!), your baby can’t sleep and is scared, your toddler can’t hear the TV/toy sound, your colleague can’t hear you clearly in the meeting.

The management does not care about resident complaint. They just need the landscape to look good so they can set rental price higher.

Besides, there are so many motorcycles in the connected neighborhood. They like to show off their engine so be ready for some 20min-ish horrible motorbike engine showcases. Read More
