For those who cannot afford the price of a "view" don't totally rule out backing to someone's house/lanai. Our house's lanai backed to the neighbor's lanai. We planted a tree row with viburnum, weeping bottlebrush, and ligustrum trees. When you look out our back windows, you can't see their house at all. All we see is trees, birds, squirrels and rabbits. We have total privacy when outside and it is usually very quiet. We do hear voices if the neighbors are out and we are sitting outside, but you'd hear that if you backed to a golf course. If you can afford a vast view, then go for it. But if you can't, there are ways to create your own view.
