My house in California was in a beautiful neighborhood very close to a major highway. You could hear the highway but pool equipment and closed windows made it a fine home. I went back to a quiet New England town and sold the house for a handsome profit. The house is now worth over $3,000,000! I sold it 34 years ago so none of that money came my way. Still it points out that highway noise is not a great resale factor in upscale neighborhoods.
