There are a number of tall and narrow growing shrubs that would create privacy. Planted together in alternating pattern will provide privacy and a bit of security. Below is a link to a list of them, getting them from a local nursery would be best. Some nurseries which most cater to the trade will let homeowners buy also and some have their inventory online.

I have a somewhat similar problem. Between my home and the one next door is a screen of Euonymus japonicus; they are way too large for the space, require pruning several times a year - they even grow in the winter - and get infested with scale. I am going to take them out and plant tall narrow screening plants in a mixed border. My nursery usually has Sky Pencil Holly, Upright yews and upright growing barberry.
