The main entryway that we use is in the back because of the location of our garage and driveway coming in from the side street in back.  So the view from the back entry onto the deck.  The "front entry" is down a walkway along the side of the house, so the view is mostly our neighbor's house from the actual "front" door.

wowzers! your yards all look amazing! 

I live in a pretty dense neighborhood so my front yard is pretty tiny. The view out my front door is basically clear across to my neighbor's front door.  I think that in 5 years though, the park strip will have grown in to block my view from the street altogether. Here's mi casa today (affectionately: Casa Del Mar, for the street i live on).
