I have an IRIS with a kissing Lanai and it is no issue for me. However, I did not care at all about the Lanai and I almost never use it. Depending on you neighbors it could be a noise issue if you want to use it alot. Visually it is not an issue because lanscaping can take care of it. The real differences in price you are seeing are view lots on ponds or golf courses. You an pay as much as 170k premium for the lot for the same house. So the question you have to answer is it the view and outdoor living that are important to you or is it the house. Fortunately here at the villages you have many choices and your neighbors will likely be great in a 300k house or a 600k house so just decide how important the outdoor living at your house is to you. Also do not forget we have so many outdoor activities here that do not need to happen at your house. We have pools, rec centers, clubs , and parks which tend to keep the time at home at a minimum.
