Default New home purchase - house backs onto road

My wife and I are thinking of putting an offer on a new home down here in Houston. The home is in a great neighborhood with good schools but the only downfall is that the house itself backs onto a busy road. The road is only 2 lanes and has no public transit route planned on it but there can be some traffic on it. The house does have a 8 ft brick fence and also has about 50 ft of green space between the fence and the road.

The house is priced really well so we are thinking of putting an offer on the home but I am somewhat concerned with the fact that it is backing onto a road.

Does anyone have a home on a similar busy road? Any thoughts on how it has worked out for you? Any realtors that can provide some feedback on how resales usually go when homes back onto roads?

Thanks in advance!
