a house that back up to a gas station and office building

Hi Everyone, After listening to more pod casts than I can count this is my first post and interaction with BP. Through an aquaintance I was made aware of pocket listing. Its in a very sought after part of Maryland due to the school district and from the brief discussion I had with my friend I decided that I do want to get more information. First thing I did was map it and that's when I realized that the home sits behind a gas station and walking out the front door of the property looking about 45 degrees to the left is the back of a not so beautiful building. There is a fence and some trees blocking the gas station but even though you can't see it easily its still right there!

Now if you go further into the neighborhood its just a typical neighborhood no issues.

I personally wouldn't buy that home for me and my family but I think it will be just find for renters as it is on the less expensive end of the homes in the area and walking distance to a shopping center with a restaurant. 

My question is how much should the proximity of the gas station and back of the commercial building affect future home values and how much I should consider the deal? 

Any help is greatly appreciated
