Ok, how do you have property within your neighbors locked gate? I have a courtyard villa. My gate opens to MY property, not my neighbors. I’m scratching my head on your message. Incidentally, I believe that the patch of property that is yours but next to your neighbor’s house is so that when you sit on your front porch, you can enjoy whatever you have planted there. Imagine sitting on your front porch and seeing an unkept patch of property. And yes, the angles of the driveways can be awkward, but it is how the builders are able to get more houses on a block. I love having the privacy and security of a courtyard villa, especially since I have a dog.
