But on the other hand we are very glad that we rented that type since we now know that we want some form of backyard privacy. Golf course or preserve or maybe even side street. I know it's not silent but at least it is not other people hearing your every word and you hearing theirs.
I have a question for CYV owners who have a wall behind with another villa on the other side - Can you still hear them over the wall? Is it just as annoying?

We have a couple of small palm trees to act as visual blockage to some degree. Seems to work well enough.
Have not heard my neighbors yet. We have "acrylic'd" our lania and that probably has made a difference in the noise level. when Snowbird season is in full swing, that may change. Time will tell.
Everyone has their own opinion about being directly on a golf course. My mother lives in an Orlando development where she is against a fairway. She is forever finding golf balls in her yard, just replaced another window from an errant drive, has to have heavy metal screens around her back windows to keep from being constantly ventilated, and the number of dings into the siding are too many to count. Her experience definitely kept me from being any closer to the duffers than necessary.
