Looks like I have some catching up to do with this thread.

Nucky, I love looking for houses and I love dogs. I plan to stay tuned.

(If I may stick my nose in the house thinking — I would like to say you might want to think about a small designer or ranch that backs up to a CYV wall. That way, you can get privacy behind and a double garage. I realize it is not the amount of privacy a CYV offers though.

The Gardenia (block and stucco) and the Camelia (vinyl) let in a lot of light — which I love to have in a house. Both models have side windows in the living room and some of the Gardenias have that lovely arch over the large kitchen window where the table and chairs can be.

The lanai is not huge, when the model backs to a wall. It is long and narrow. But sometimes there are telescoping doors that can make the lanai a part of your living area when you have a bigger crowd in.

Backing to a wall gives you a small yard which we happen to like — a lot. Also, the way the neighboring houses are set on the inside lots often can allow a surprising amount of side privacy.

These models also have a small front porch.

I have not looked lately, but there are usually some of these in the LSL section, throughout. Not sure about the north though, but probably.

I loved that wall the minute I saw it when I walked in the front door.

Just a thought — or two. — or three. )
