I suggest Podocarpus and or blinds. Don’t plant anything that when it is mature will be up against your screen because hard to maintain, block breezes, and make you feel closed in.
Drive around older sections and see what you like when plant is mature.

Good advice, valid points. I agree about getting approval. Been reading lately about “anonymous” busy bodies going around TV then making complaints about various violations.
And btw, don’t agree with doing that type of thing. These anonymous complaints included someone who painted a nice green color on her house borders but that was reported as a violation and she had to paint over it, and they fined her $2,500. Another case involved a complaint about someone’s hedges being too high, and she was forced to remove the plants, even though they were that high for years. Anyway, a bit off topic perhaps, but just underscoring approval issues, in case a neighbor or “anonymous” person raises an issue.
