Moving to the city from the burbs was the best decision to make at this stage in our lives. We've solved all our storage challenges with a custom closet and kitchen pantry made from Ikea kitchen cabinets. We found the best layout for the master suite - repurposed as our den/guest room - where we spend most of our time. With help from the Houzz community and inspiration from the ever-popular modern farmhouse craze, we've pulled everything together to make this concrete box a home. Well it's been some time since we took possession of our tiny city condo and it's taken a couple of years and a few furniture purchase mishaps to get settled. Plant bulbs in the fall in clumps, not in lines and you will have a wonderful spring garden as well. A nice azalea by the front fence will look nice and not block the sun if kept small, but will block the view of the car a bit.That will keep it low maintenance and not get too big for your space. If you put in anything, I would only use dwarf varieties for your space. Stella doro is a good repeat bloomer, and will bloom all season if deadheaded.
You may want to put some daylilies in as well as hosta along the fence as they are reliable plants and can be divided and spread further along the yard over time. No real need for stepping stones unless you turn the whole lot into garden as you already have a sidewalk. I would start by making a bed that runs along the front fence and then along the property line and has some curves to it. It is available pretty inexpensively, and would look nice until you can upgrade. If a total replacement isn't possible, you might want to get a woven type available from Gardener's Supply.
It might be nice to get a privacy fence along the property line so you don't have to look at the neighbor's tires and such. And then it might need to be fertilized and weed, but the grass looks pretty healthy otherwise.
If you are going to keep the grass, it looks like it needs a really good raking out first to get rid of the dead clumps of grass.
