This set up allows each homeowner to have a larger useful side yard. Otherwise you would have a narrow strip on both sides. It is a better use of land for the developer. We have this setup in my current neighborhood. The only problems I have observed is when a careless neighbor lets their sprinklers spray on your house wall and it causes some damage. There is also the issue of landscaping interferring with your ability to maintain that wall.
batman911,
We can see where you are coming from but in reading over the deed restrictions, it says the owner of the land has the right of ingress and egress to perform maintenance. Our rep said they would have to ask permission but the restrictions does not indicate they would. We would certainly expect them to do so but... We were concerned because we would have 2 dogs that would have use of the yard and well..you can see where this could go.
