I am going to provide a contrary viewpoint, we bought a lot with a road in the back, a view of 2 golf courses in the distance, and villas with a block wall. Outside of some occasional road noise this is a very nice location. The cars at 30+ MPH, the golf carts at 25+MPH never have a chance to see me in the hot tub, the occasional walker is too busy with their phone, so we actually have a lot of privacy. Lot was $65k (2013) house now appears to be 2.5 to 3 times what we paid, AND we know the rear scenery will never change significantly.
