I guess you are. Ours is a corner lot and the only window that faces my one neighbor is in the guest bathroom and even then all you see is my Robellini plam tree. My lanai faces a very large backyard big enough for a pool and more. The six foot wall gives us lots of privacy and buffers any noise from the other side. I am the opposite of you. I could not imagine why anyone would want a house where their lanai is open to public view. Lasgt week we saw an amourous couple in their hot tub while driving by, yuck! I was never much interested in the comings and goings of others but obviously some TV residents are. My drummer is not only different but I think we march to different instruments.
P.S. we are from Jersey and seem surrounded by former NJ residents. Can't get away from them.
