The design and material of the fence will be the answer.
Most designs I do as an architect enclose the rear yard only with a 6' high fence. The codes of most cities limit the fence around the street side setback areas to 3-4' in height. The local planning department can give you the requirements.
Once this is established, then decide is the fence wood, chainlink, the new vinyls or panels. The panels are the fastest, but also create waste to match the exact dimensions. Also you will need to buy the post and concrete fill for foootings to support whichever fence you pick. If the post are a part of the fencing, you can reduce the linear feet of fencing by the sum of the post dimensions. Probably not enough to make a difference on this small lot.
So the final quantities are going to be something like 200 linear feet of 6' high fencing to complete the rear and side yards and returns to the house plus two gates for pedestrians on either side of house. If you are on an alley or corner lot, then these numbers will adjust. The front yard fence will be 150' of 3-4' high fence and post, plus the decision of a gate for the sidewalk entrance, or simply enter the yard by the drive way entrance.
You may want to enclose the trash area with fencing as well. This area will be another 8-12 linear feet of 6' high fencing if designed into a side are corner at the back of the lot.
Hope this helps...

If you are fenceing all the way around you will need 360 feet minus the openings for driveways and walkways.
