I can't give you a hard and fast number but I can say based on a
temporary vertical I used when we first built our house that until I
got it about 20 ft away from our two-story home you could hear the
difference on receive. Stations were stronger AND noise generated
within the house was less. The noise actually disappeared about that
distance.
Personally I would go for the back of the lot and keep it in the clear
as much as possible. Once it's assembled and tuned you could perhaps
paint it to be less obvious than shiny aluminum.
