Yup, our neighborhood is like that and no privacy fences, just split railing. You can literally see all of your neighbors whether you want to or not. The developers gave some bogus reason for designing it that way under the guise of wanting people to feel a sense of community. Ummm, my grandparents neighborhood was huge w/ beautiful backyards and privacy fencing and they were bff w/ A LOT of people on their street. We’re adults, we don’t need help making friends. 🙄 Unfortunately, all the new subdivisions are like this so it’s either spend a lot of money on an old house that you have to spend even more money on after you close to renovate and update it. Or, buy a new home for the same price that’s ready to go but you’re literally on top of your neighbors from all sides.
