Leyland cypress are pretty fast, expensive. Arborvite are a little slower, you can prune to keep at a decent size to avoid snappage, Hemlocks would be my first choice a few years ago but the woolly adelgid bug is killing them off so spraying will get expensive. Got time, norway spruce is the fastest growing of the spruce ,x-mas tree type trees. Very dense growing. That is what I am using but takes a long time. You will need lots of sun too if you are looking for faster growing. You might want to consider closely planted shrubs like the Russian olive. Cheap and common. Heck you can dig them up at vacant lots. Fast growing and pretty dense, like me. Barberry is good , fasynthia and lilacs grow like weeds, viburniums, although they are all deciduous. A lot of choices. Go to a nursery and ask for help. Morse is near you. I like to buy local. Or go to a vacant lot . P.
