We rented here twice before buying. Both of the rentals had very heavy foliage behind them. In the first rental we could still hear the voices of the people behind us on their lanai, and worse, could hear their TV.
The second rental was on a corner with heavy foliage across the back and the side. Either the neighbors were very quiet, or more likely they were vacant rental units, but we never heard anyone on the other lanais.
As someone has already suggested, it depends on the neighbors you have.
Our house has a very nice recessed front porch and it is a pleasant place to sit in the evenings. We are on a cul-de-sac so the traffic is minimal.
The lesson would be to shop long and hard before you buy.
