As for privacy, as an American who is shopping for a rental villa, I do want it, because we have two young sons who can be LOUD, and parents who sometimes have to be even LOUDER to get them to listen to us!! At some of the newer communities the villas seem so close together that it looks like normal adult conversations could easily carry from one pool area to another -- never mind the sounds of screaming toddlers. Also (and I don't want to offend anyone here -- this is just personal opinion) it's kind of unattractive to see all these homes just stacked one on top of the other with no shrubs or bushes in between. But I'm biased -- we moved out of Florida because of concerns about hasty/unplanned development. A lot of folks have other priorities and interests. It seems like older communities do have more space and trees, so we may gravitate to one of those.

I just want to say that I totally understand where you're coming from here. That was the first comment I made to my husband when we were shopping for a villa 3 years ago - that I didn't like the way the homes were stacked one on the other and I hated staring into the pool next door! The very first thing we did was install vinyl fencing around the pool area! And my reasons for wanting privacy are very similar to yours - my kids are loud too!!!
