This is a quote from the OP....." I have seen some great house prices along the streets that back up to the turnpike but wonder if it's worth the deal."
Every one of the posters claiming they would not want to live near constant traffic noise has answered the OP's concern. If a person would not want to live near traffic noise, the answer to the OP's concern is simply "NO, it is not a good deal." I guess you have to read between the lines to realize that. A person who finds constant drone of traffic noise to be offensive, they would not think a discount on a home is a good deal. You have to live with the consequences afterward and that discount doesn't mean a hill of beans.
I've seen it time and time again on HGTV many prospective home buyers walk away from a lovely home because of traffic noise. As they say in real estate........Location, location, location!
