The Verandas are fenced in like the CYV's yes. But there are some differences. First of all, your driveway may be on the left side or the right side, but the gate to access your fenced in yard is going to be on the same side of your house regardless of the driveway. On mine, it's on the left when facing the house. I'm responsible for the lawn behind the fence, even though part of it technically belongs to the neighbor. But then my other neighbor is responsible for the part of my yard that is behind his fence. It appears some, or even all, of the corner lot Verandas get 2 gates, 1 on either side, to access their fenced back yard.
All that said, and I expect this is the same for most CYV owners as well, I almost NEVER access my back yard through the gate, unless it's when I'm mowing my lawn. Other than that, I walk out the back door of the house.
