We live in a small rental with a good-sized fenced in backyard--a must with a very active dog!

Single family "split" style house w/ private fenced in yard!

Freestanding home with a private fenced yard. We lucked out and the yard is pretty big and has a separate rocky space that we've turned into a fire pit area. Another small corner is sectioned off for a garden (haven't used that in two years though). Luckily DH doesn't mind mowing it (usually!). This is just a rental, but I'd want a yard at least this big when we buy!

We're in a pre-war condo. There are 11 buildings in our complex, each with 8 units. We're on the 4th floor of a walk up so we don't have anyone above us and only share one wall with our neighbors (our bedroom). We don't have any yard or green space but there's a huge public playground literally right next door (I can see it from our windows). We wanted to buy in NYC so we never planned on having a yard. I don't want the maintenance of a yard or driveway.

Single family with private yard. I really want someone to pick houseboat though!

We live in a free-standing house that was converted into 2 apartments - 1 up and 1 down. We're on the first floor. There's a fenced-in yard for both tenants to use, although we have a large covered porch leading onto it.
I love having the fenced-in yard because we have a dog, so I don't have to worry about it when I just let her out.
DH and I aren't responsible for the lawn care. The tenant above us has been living here 10+ years and worked out a deal for rent reduction if she does the lawn care. She hires a guy and pays him less to mow than what her rent reduction is. (Not sure if the landlord knows this, but whatever, we don't have to do it.)
We chose a free-standing house because we could have the dog and neither of us are fans of large complexes. We are definitely sick of apartment living though - we hate having someone above us!

We just moved into a big apartment building with no private yard. BUT, it is 3 blocks away from one of the biggest parks in the city, so I am happy.
We moved from an apartment that was one of 7 in an old house that had been converted. We had a yard there, and we got a rent discount to rake. Before that, we lived in a 2 unit house, and we took care of the yard for no discount (but we did get to plant vegetables!) I love being outside, and I wouldn't mind the yardwork if it were our own yard. However, we ran into one too many issues with landlords regarding maintenance, so I'm glad not to have one anymore!

@fussygal: you have a fire pit in your rental? So cool!

Corner lot, so a bit of a PITA, but a fenced in yard is a must for my dog.

We rent a townhouse, but play outside on the communal lawn all the time!
