I don't want to buy a fence with a house attached. I want to buy a home, and I want to know that IF I want a fence between my backyard and your back yard, I am allowed.

Hi there AnonChick!
Welcome to you. Hope you hang around and ask a lot of questions. Your question about fences is very typical and frequently debated.
We have lived in a restricted community for a long time in Ohio and you have to get approval for almost everything there from swing sets to satellite dishes.
I agree with Bill-n-Brillo that when enforced it makes for a nice, neat neighborhood. On the other hand I can see why people like their privacy too.
There are a lot of choices for landscaping and things grow VERY quickly here. Once you scrape off the tough Zoysia grass, the sand is easy to dig and if you throw in a bottle brush available at Lowes and Home Depot and Walmart you have six foot of privacy in a year! I love to get my hands dirty, and I would volunteer to help you. I know I will like you, your comment about old brandy won me immediately.
Just keep asking questions, a lot of us love to type, (and to others about to make a comment about ME, don't start!!)
I think that if you can, coming down and renting for several months makes it easier to choose just the right place. The section you are thinking about is lovely with mature trees and the right to do a little more to your yard with decorations than south of there. I have visited in a beautiful home in that area and it had many features not seen in most of the newer homes here.
You will find the right place for you....here with us other aged brandies!
