There are some homes, not villas, built with privacy fences in the back yard. When you start working with a realtor, be sure to mention this.
People do use hedges as privacy barriers. There may be restrictions for utility easements so you would need to be careful where they are planted. I have seen where folks have put small decorative “fences” around a patio. As a general rule, fences are not allowed. This topic and others are covered in the deed restrictions. I would suggest reviewing these before you buy. This is all public information and can be found online.
