Similar situation. We hunted until we found a Veranda model we liked. That took some doing but we ended up with a fenced yard "with a view". Had to get used to walking "the boys" on leads since we are originally from a more rural area in Texas where leads were more for keeping your dog from running away. It has worked out well so far. "The boys" have some space to stretch their legs and also socialize some on walks. May not be the most attractive approach to spend extra time and lots of effort hunting for what you want, but in our case it really paid off. And don't shy from new builds as they may be more cost effective than "used" in this case. Just one personal experience. On the side, the Invisible fence idea is also a great alternative if your dogs aren't too headstrong to ignore the shock and you are used to having that type of collar on them.
