Although I have seen two mature and healthy looking ones in landscapes here,
Norfolk Island Pine is not considered to be very cold hardy.
Floridata (website) says zone 10-11. We are zone 9a. They also say it is very easily toppled in high (storm) winds.
Damage can occur when temps are below 40 degrees. We get those temps here.
It's a beautiful tree, but rather open and airy unless in full sun and quite mature- I am not sure it would do much, if your purpose was to screen a view.
Perhaps a different kind of shrub or tree would give you more bang for your buck..... take your time and do some research as to mature size and maintenance before you actually plant. (and get approval/permission to make sure you can plant it where you want it.)
A big clump of Pampas grass might work- Oleander is a possibility- Magnolia trees get big and stay full at the bottom. (just a few selections off the top of my head) There are lots more!
Let us know what you decide upon
