I have a feeling the lots across my street will be harder to sell because their backyard will be against the main road.

One other factor I have not seen mentioned is the dust factor. Living next to a busy roadway is not a good place to be for numerous reasons: (1) noise, (2) dust and (3) safety are major in my book and I personally would not want to live there even without children.
When your pine trees mature (if they are pine tress) it'll help somewhat, but I've known some areas that they've actually constructed layers of retaining walls to cut down noise levels from traffic.
I don't know what state you're in nor whether your kids are sensitive to the external environment... you might want to think about that too. Houses next to main roads always have more dust.... and I'd personally stay away from them.
