Would you get a house if it's wedged in between two large apartment complexes?

Need Advice

There's this new listing that popped up near me. It just came out a few hours ago so I haven't visited in person yet. On Zillow it looks pretty fantastic, good amount of space, fits a lot of my criteria, GREAT price within my budget, location (as in neighborhood) is nice and walkable to local shops.

Then I did a little street view and saw that it's nestled RIGHT in between two apartment complexes, like this (I don't think I'm allowed to share the picture on here so I'm gonna do my best to illustrate it):

The presence of apartments is not what bothers me, but I feel like those windows on the sides can peer right into the yard! Feels a little hard to have privacy that way.

Would you get a house like this? I've been a little frustrated with the listings recently, haven't been able to find a single thing at all and this was the closest that came up within my budget but it has this huge caveat. Would love to get some opinions.

Thanks everyone!
