Hoping to move to the Villages in a few months. Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between a lanai and a kissing lanai? Thank you in advance.

About $40000 give or take.

Speaking of noise, how about dog barking? Anyone know of who to call?

Q. What's the difference between a lanai and a kissing lanai?

A. $40,000 give or take...

That's the BEST answer to a GOOD question I've ever read on TOTV! (member since 2012).

Short, simple, accurate, humorous, and so, so, right!

Most houses built in TV, are on very small lots (by design to maximize density/profit) and even normal conversations...can easily be heard from neighbors.

One should either just get used to it, or plan on spending a lot more money for a bigger lot...and houses/lanais further away from each other.

It's pretty much as simple as that. :shrug:

[
In The Village of Harmeswood, A Premier neighborhood built about 14 years ago they have larger lots. (North of 466, North of the Savannah Center, entrance to the left going North on Buena Vista) In Harmeswood large homes were built on large lots. We rented one when our now home was being built. Learned from the neighbors that maintaining a large lot is a pain many want to leave behind. Even with paid landscapers.

If you haven't driven through Harmeswood, it is interesting to see, there are many homes that differ from the styles that are common here.

People are still going to be people and patience and restraint and just plain good manners usually pay off, especially since for many this will be their last attempt at being a good neighbor. As we get older, having people on your team living around you is important. We all need each other at times.

Because you never know who's going to have a baton.

I find it confusing that the OP backs on a nature preserve, yet has a lanai behind her. :confused:
Perhaps it's the property to the right or left of the OP's home, in which case I'd hire landscapers to plant a tall hedge.

That was the point of my question to the OP up there in post 8. In her answer, post 10, she says the noise is to the right and behind. Perhaps the nature preserve ends at the side of her backyard, and she has a lanai katty-cornered to her. Almost a kissing lanai situation.

If you want a view, you have to make sure you own the view. I guess if you want privacy, you should own the whole block!

The OP said she backs on a nature preserve, You can't get much more private than that.
No pesky gas carts rumbling by her house or golf balls in her yard.
Surely noisy neighbors to the right or left can be screened by planting privacy hedges?

She did not say she backs onto a nature preserve. She said "We recently moved to a new neighborhood, on a nature preserve for the quiet and nature." I think there's a little bit of fudging going on. Go back and read posts 8 & 10. My guess is she has a neighbor behind her whose noise she doesn't like.

In any event, she's not living on ten acres in the middle of the woods.

A privacy hedge is only visual. It will not lessen the noise much.

You're right - good catch. :popcorn:

Also if the neighbors are smokers guess where they migrate to do the deed. Nothing as refreshing as the waft of a good cigar with Sunday morning brunch.

So My comment was either deleted or admin did not approve it to go up because I'm not seeing it so I'll state it again but with a quote:
I feel like the fact that you felt the need bring this up and say this as part of your defense is problematic and shows the real issue here. you also brought up they invite friends over but I'm assuming you are not invited. could it be the real issues here you have with them is not the noise level at all and you are *looking* for a reason to have an issue with them?
I suggest you politely and non-passive-aggressively speak to them. BEFORE involving the police.

Noisy neighbors are starting to look better than the lung full of pesticides I just got from my neignbor's pest control people. I was just enjoying lunch on my lanai when the pest control people sprayed the next lawn over and the spray drifted over here through the privacy hedge, lanai screen , etc. It's a windy day, but I wish the wind had taken the chemicals the other way.

Even more than noisy nearby neighbors I dread living close or downwind from a house where the inhabitants smoke any substance on their lanai.

If the neighbors are smoking illegal substances on their lanai do you suggest I politely and non-passive-aggressively speak to them before involving the police?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the cops don't care that your neighbor might have a joint.

Could be medical, chemo and radiation can kick the crap out of you, MM is extremely helpful

I would go inside let them enjoy the Puff and then carry on with my life. Live & Let Live. I have COPD and wonder how many people I zapped with my second hand smoke? Regrets I have a few.
