Like most things it is a matter of opinion. YOURS is the only one that matters. You can adjust your landscaping to reduce noise.
You can install double thick glass windows.
As a kid, our apartment was looking down on elevated trains.
You do get used to it. Aside, our home is block, quieter than a home with siding. We have trains about three miles away and they do blow their whistle at crossings. If, you pay attention you can hear them at night. For me, it does not bother me.
Others are disturbed by by the noise of their air conditioning.
As stated,"worth the deal," it is your opinion. Is a golf view, a drainage ditch view, a real lake view worth the deal?
