Joseph: The portion of my neighbor’s property I’m referring to is the backyard where my deck is located. From the deck, I have an unobstructed view of the entire backyard of the property to the left and that of the property behind mine. Yes, my presence is clearly noticeable to anyone glancing in my direction.
In case this helps any, the layout of the block is two rows of adjacent Cape Cod-style homes, each row facing the opposite direction of the row behind it. For example, the houses to the left and right of mine face South and those behind us face North.
Ayid: Yes, I’m only inquiring about my looking/peering at my neighbors’ yards (and at my neighbors, by extension). No one is requesting that a wall be constructed. So far, there’s no one is tending a garden in the sense of growing produce. Just lawns with flowers and trees around the perimeter.
