Zoning sounds terrible until your next door neighbor starts running an auto repair shop out of his garage.
"Mixed use" is also a thing. I know of plenty of examples here in the US, I have lived in one of them. New construction consisting of living space above retail is actually kinda trendy right now.
Also if you live above a greasy diner expect cockroaches
On the flip side, you're stuck in a peaceful quiet suburb that's a mile or more from any business.
Yes. Exactly.

That however is just bad zoning. You don't want to have endless stretches of just living areas, instead you try to have organic town or area centres with mixed quarters. But you need to keep producing business and industry away from living areas.
Over here in Germany for example, auto repair shops are illegal in sole living areas, in normal living areas, they might be allowed under limitations and in mixed areas they are mostly allowed. This is the same for other businesses, but shops for local needs are allowed in every living area - your local grandmas shop
