I've got two accross the street from my backyard; I hide behind a shed to view but light reflects back at me from the wall of our house - more than once I've thought of painting the wall matt black. I can still see Milky way/LMC/SMC but galaxies are almost a complete loss. Shielding on the lights or more directional lights (LED) would make a big difference.
