The short answer
Real Talk: If you're looking in Southwest, Tangletown, Fulton, or Armatage, you need to check the flight paths. MSP runs two main corridors, and the noise is real—especially on summer evenings when windows are open. Here's my hack: Go to the house at 8 PM on a Tuesday and Wednesday. Listen. Then check MACNoise.com for sound insulation programs. Some homes have had thousands in insulation work done at airport expense. That can actually work in your favor if done right.
