Living next door to a construction site

I was wondering what the general opinion was about buying an apartment next door to a pending construction site. We are considering buying a place that is physically next to what is going to be a new condo building. The place is great, but I have no idea what to expect when the construction begins.
Has anyone lived directly next door to a construction site, and how badly did this affect your quality of life? Thanks in advance.
