Our homes in the California SF Bay Area have always had small fenced in backyards; 15' - 50' deep (the small one was backed up to a 4,000 acre ranch in the hills but we still had only 15'). Gives you a feeling of privacy and allows you to pretty much put what you want in the yard without worry of others walking off with it.
Our home in TV is unfenced and on a golf course. Can't use the back yard for much, however, you get the feeling that the whole vista is yours (closest home behind us is about 100 yards away, others are 200 to 300 yards).
Both types have their advantages and disadvantages.
