I know my neighbor has an easement to come into my side yard in order to maintain his house, but can my neighbor plant bushes or trees on that side of his house? I've read a variety of opinions on various threads, so I first reached out to community standards, but they won't answer that question.

Go to districtgov.org and download your deed restriction document for your lot. Also, you should have received a plat at the closing for your lot. Typically, the property lines for villas are located midway between the adjacent houses, and the deed restriction document describes the "sideyard" easements that apply to your house. Most likely, your neighbor owns about half of the property between the houses, but you are responsible for maintaining some of their property for landscaping. And, you do need to provide access to the neighbor to maintain their house, such as painting and pest control.
