Most residents are considerate of others
We live in a CYA and I'd estimate that 9 out of 10 homes on our street have a dog or two, and I rarely (if ever) hear a dog barking longer than a few seconds.
The number of dogs in a neighborhood is not the key factor. What it boils down to is whether the owner is considerate and caring about others, or whether they are a miserable S.O.B. who wants everyone else to be miserable too.
What I've seen is that CYV's attract not only dog owners (because of the fenced back yard) but because they see the ease in getting to know neighbors and do social things with them....because of the closeness of the homes and driveways where neighbors gather to talk. Generally I think people who buy CYV's want to know their neighbors and not be isolated from them and their dogs.
If there were a dog barking incessantly there would be instant pressure on the owner to put a stop to it, regardless of the types of homes/villas.
