We have a CYN and did the back and front in rock and do not have any problem with heat. If we had a dog we would have left the grass, but like the ideal of not having any maintance. Still get great breezes, no excessive heat.
No problems with chatting with the neighbors either. Your constantly running into someone when your coming and going.
We have the Bonita 3/2 with the laundry inside, because in my last home the laundry was in the garage and I thought it was to hot in the summer and to cold in the winter. My one neighbor hates having hers in the garage because of that, plus she's always running to check when it's done.
The 3rd bedroom we turned into an office/craft room, and it's nice to have the extra closet space.
