That is crazy. A well done pool looks so nice. We can see ours from our kitchen windows, and I find myself just gazing at the water as I'm doing dishes or whatever. Very relaxing. Our houses aren't that close. You really can't see your neighbors back yard unless you try, and even then you are looking through some trees. I have one neighbor who likes to make an issue out of things, some silly, some valid. I fully expected to hear about our project, but so far, nothing. I just try to be respectful as the evening comes on to be sure music and noise isn't out of hand...
A lot too depends on the neighborhood. I'd say the average adult age in ours is about 45-50, so folks are pretty tolerant. There's kids, bikes, etc. You don't move into a development if you want to be a hermit. At least I don't think so. We like seeing people out and about to some degree. If you want complete privacy, buy 50 acres and put your house right smack in the middle.
