They allow hedges and plantings right??? A well maintained hedge (except for the dog issue and we don't have one) acctually gives more privacy than a fence.

I was in this situation once myself and ended up moving after one year after buying the home because I was afraid I would do something that I would regret. If I could have put up a fence it would have solved the problem but it was not allowed. Right now I have great neighbors and we still fence, but use low picket fences so we can see each other and still contain our respective dogs. When we moved into this development we were the only couple with a dog. Now almost everyone has one. I am not saying one view or the other is wrong as we are all free to live where we want but I have never personally met anyone up here in NY/NJ that does not want a fence. In fact, they want the highest one they can get.
I think I know the answer to my question in my case. Every place I lived had houses on top of each other. Sometimes within 10 feet. Although, my inlaws in Ocala live in a development with homes on two acre lots and most are fenced in so I still remain puzzled as to the sharp division of views. No matter because we have the choice in the Villages.
