I agree. We were in a designer. It had a wall in the back separating us from a CYV behind. I found looking at somebody's roof over that wall to be unpleasant.

We sold the designer and bought a CYV in that neighborhood. Our designer street was more of a through street than a community. Our CYV neighborhood is enclosed (4 streets) and is a very quiet, friendly community.

And because we bought on a side that there's nothing but a not-major street behind us, we are looking at trees and sky over the wall as opposed to someone's roof. We enjoy having the patio, put in a retractable awning and an umbrella.

The dogs go in and out. One barks if a delivery truck arrives, but he's pulled inside immediately. We don't let the dogs outside unless we're home.
