Most new home owners prefer more privacy in the master bedroom and personal living spaces, others might need or want to work from home and therefore want privacy in a home office space. Check the placements of window locations to see if they will provide adequate privacy from your neighbor's windows and yards. Consider how you plan to use and enjoy your outdoor yard space to see how features such as decks, patios, porches or pools will meet your needs for privacy. Landscaping, lot type and location can play an important factor in how much privacy your outdoor spaces will have.
