I don't have an issue with someone going in their own yard even if they have to traverse a small portion of my driveway. Everyone knows that when they buy. Even if your not told that outright, common sense tells you that the only way in the gate is by walking on part of the neighbors driveway. And yes my small dog will love the small fenced yard.. Also I love the low maintenance feature of a CYV and my location. I would think the main reasons that people buy them.

I have a small 2BR CYV that is 9 years old. I only open my gate about 3 times a year. As you see that hedge, which started out small holly bushes, need to be trimmed about 3 times a year and then I fill up the brown paper bags and move them to the driveway for pickup. My neighbor did ask once a couple of months ago to let the exterminator in my backyard to treat his home for termites. So the gate has been open about 4 times in the past 12 months. Otherwise I keep a lock on the gate as do most of my neighbors. I almost forgot, I did power-wash the patio a few months ago. I do that about every other year and it makes a big difference, especially around downspouts.
