Default CYV noise and storage

we added stairs and plywood in the garage to our CV, gives some storage. We don't live there yet, mostly rent it out and use for vacations, but seems pretty quiet to me.

We can occasionally hear neighbors from 1 side enough to hear that they are over there talking, but not loud enough to hear what anyone's saying. I think the fence probably does help. They have small dogs, as do we and occasionally one gives a little yip, but think everyone is very considerate about not leaving barking dogs outside. Our lanai is on one side of the villa, as I think all of them would be, so you really don't hear any noise at all from the other side, and haven't heard anything from the back fence side. Unless we could afford a designer with a private back we wouldn't do anything other than a CV. Plenty of interior space.

A 2 car garage would be nice, but am thinking we can fit in 2 golf carts and a small car when we move down for good, and sell the 2nd car. Will have to remove the post in front of the furnace and put something on the floor instead. The post sticks out to the side. People are very creative in their garage storage ideas. We already have bikes and other storage stuff using a Rubbermaid hanging storage system.
