Thanks for the replies sonofzeus and Finite Elephant ... and the Web site link.

I'm looking in Bartlett, just north of Army Trail. The planes on 10L/28R currently come in directly over Schick Road (which is just over a half mile north of the houses I'm looking at). I found an old spec online for the North runways that says 9C/27C and 9R/27L are 1640 feet apart (about 1/3 mile) and the South runways look closer together?

I don't mind planes in the area, I just don't want to have a flight path going directly over the house (did that before, never could get used to the noise). I'm not too concerned about the far south runway as the traffic will be pretty light, concerned about the exact location of 10C/28C though.

Could you tell me where to drive at O'Hare to see the new runway being built/location? Any additional info would be truly appreciated!
