I did a ton of research when I got my place, about the area and all its quirk. It was fine. I bought it, then 2 years later a nearby airport changed their software which modified some flight routes, and more importantly lowered the altitude planes flew over extremely densely populated areas, making them incredibly noisy. All this happened in the name of saving fuel.
Now I haven't opened the windows in years, especially not at night (else its impossible to sleep), the outdoor deck is unusable except for days where planes don't actually fly over because of wind direction, etc. Starting to plan selling the place partly because of it. Fortunately a lot of people swear until they're blue in the face that this isn't happening (even though its easy to find proof), so resell value isn't affected.

Closing the windows won't be an option in the summer. A lot of people say they are used to the sound and don't notice it. That's just not true though. I've sat outside at a bar and had a conversation interrupted because a plane flew overhead.
