Thoughts on living near a busy street?

If you read OP's original post, the house in question is not right on the busy street, but on a very quite street off of the busy street. Big difference IMO.

It has a backyard and otherwise great. I'm concerned that our kids couldn't play outside, learn to ride a bike there, that we would hear traffic often. And the potential resell of it. So I'm interested in thoughts from homeowners that live on or near a busy street....if you "made it work" (how?), or you regret living there, or are very happy, etc. Thanks!

DO NOT DO IT!

I lived near a busy street and the constant car, bus, etc.. noise for tough to deal with. The most difficult part though was trying to get out of the driveway.
