Would you buy a family home on a busy road

I'm wondering would most people buy a family semi d on a busy road, in a location that is expensive but close to the city, driveway for several cars at the front, but constant traffic doing 30 - 40mph, sometimes backed up in front of the house? My friend thinks it's undesirable but I think the house looks lovely and would be great.

No, because it would be hard to sell.

No, the noise wouldn’t bother me but the air quality would.

if the house was perfect in every way I would . A lot of people will say no way but most houses live by noise of some sort , traffic , trains , planes etc etc
