No, because our actual garden goes in a different direction, and it’s about 150m to the next building there (even if it’s not all my property). The terrain is slightly sloping there (barely noticeable on foot but if you put something big there, it would be), on a flatter part there is a sandbox, trampoline etc., otherwise I planted trees there. The rest of the garden also has sun from morning till evening, and between the houses the climbing frame has shade here and there, making it easier to climb, especially in summer. Otherwise, the price per square meter here is already 200,-, not the most expensive for NRW with good transport connections and central location, but enough. So: it’s not as cramped in reality as it looks (the neighbor has a wide double garage for example, the house is not as close as it looks in the picture – probably due to the lens/zoom combination used), and I do not feel cramped at all. But I have also lived in larger cities (e.g. Dortmund) in an apartment, and a detached house is definitely another league. If you come from the countryside with 2000 sqm plots with a house in the middle, you might feel differently. Apart from that, I know new development areas where the houses only have as much space as a main garden (so at most that much on each side). That would actually be too cramped for me.
