You are being overly dramatic. You would be in TV, not in the middle of Times Square or Manhattan.
Our house backs onto one of the busier streets, and the only time we notice the noise is when it is cool enough to open the sliders, and even then it is not objectionable. NO odors at all, and we have LOTS of golf carts going by. We do notice the occasional speeder, accelerating from the nearby gate, but we have great view and lots of privacy.
As an aside, according to Zillow, we are up $150K or more in about 6 years!
