I like my neighbors very much. They are all very kind. I live in a quiet neighborhood where people are all good and they care a lot. Sometimes if there is no one at home, they accept bills and give it to me when I go home. One of my neighbors always check on me if I am home and always reminds me to lock all doors and windows before I live for work.
I love living in this neighborhood of mine. It is very quiet and people help each other. It is different from other neighborhood where people always pry but do not help you when you need their help.

Yeah I like them very much. I find their help in every situation I am in. they are really cooperative. For instance if I am out of the town they very well take care of my house. Even if I need financial help they always willing to hold me up. They are just as my family mates.

Hello masmasika
You are so lucky, people around you are so kind.
I have only one neighbors ( as I know), they pretty kind, even in the first time they never say hello to me.
But after I try to talk and give them smile, they are nice now.
My other neighbors are never seen, a lot of different people come in and out everyday.
God bless you

You seem to have nice neighbors. I live in an apartment complex and I don't know who lives in which apartment. I am trying to find some neighbors in my complex who have children so that my kids can have some friends to play around with. When I do see some kids, I'm not in a position to go out and talk to them because I will be going out in a huryy, so till now I haven't got any luck. There are some kids who go to the same school with my daughter. They are the only ones she has as friends but they are all much older than her.

If it's the neighbor next door from me, then NO i HATE THEM SO MUCH I just want to throw a grenade at them -_-; (seriously) want to know why? Because almost every night, they have their music turned up so high my room actually vibrates a little... I just want to tell them to STFU and throw a grenade at them. But yeah, that's a violation and crime in the neighbor, so I wouldn't go that far, but that's what I want to do :p but I won't. But my other neighbors are nice, they like our dog, and they are all friendly. I don't visit them though, but I do see them here and there whenever I take a walk with my dog.

i have grown up in a really helpful neighborhood. and i think that we were more like one family and complemented each other giving space when needed as well as helping when the need arised. i really feel that my neighbourhood contributed in a great way to my upbringing.

yeah we got such niece neighbors around us, there is one lady who's not as nice to people.
she think she can talk to people anyway she wants. like i had a friend over he was parked long way in front of my drive way, instead of her going around him which she had plenty of room, she laid on her horn and told him he had to move. she had plenty of room to go around and he wasn't blocking her driveway at all. she catch an attuide whenever she wants and talk nasty to people as well try to be bossy as well.
she got upset because i left the valleyball net lending against the fence and then told me well i don't have any problmes with your shed. well you know what if you did that is your problme because i am not taking it down unless you give me a $1,000 bucks.
but now we won't speak to her, but one day she will need something and she will ask me and i will tell sorry for your luck

Hi masmasika, I like some of my neighbors. I am friendly with
3 of them. Two of them I go out with shopping and doing things
with. I consider them pretty close friends. I have known them
for quite a few years. I only have one neighbor that is a real
problem and everyone hates her. I have lived in my apartment
for 28 years and she has lived in hers the same amoung of
time. We do not speak. She is a nasty miserable trouble making
person that no one wants any part of. Everyone wants her gone.
No one has anything to do with her. She bangs on the floor
and makes alot of noise to disturb me and my girlfriend who
lives underneath her. If it wasn't for her everyone else here
is fine and it is a nice place to live.

You are really lucky to live in a nice neighbourhood and have friendly neighbours . It is not my case, my neighbours are very nosy and want to poke their noses in every thing you do ,they also talk behind everyones back. They are always outside mumbling about something or someone. I am not that kind of person because I love helping others when they need help but I always make it a point to mind my own business and I pretend that everyone does the same.

wow... you are indeed in a good neighborhood...
we have lived here in our place for the past 7-8 years... we didnt have any problems since my kids are not really going outside of our home.
but now, my son is in his 4th grade, at times he plays outside with our other neighbors of his age...they do play basketball...
but since they were only kids, the other teenaged kids most of the times, they try to bully the younger kids, and my kids tell me what the teenaged kids do... and it makes me angry when my son wont be able to play outside...
as of now, i dislike those teenaged neighbors of ours who try to bully other kids...

We are social animals. we can not live alone. we need our companians. neighbors are like companions. good neighbers are good companions. they are much more closer than our other relatives. they help us and participate in our sorrow and happiness. they have duties and also some rights. we should care the rights of our neighbers and we should prove ourself as good neigbors. this could make the life full of love and peace.

I love my neighborhood and my neighbors. I don't have any serious problems with them and they are helpful to me. I have a couple of relatives as my neighbor and it's great to have them. I have been in this neighborhood for almost 20 years now and I know most of the people here. They are really nice neighbors.

Hi Masmasika, it's nice to have neighbors like yours. I stay in a double-storey linkhouse, so I would have neighbors left, right and in front of us. It's a quiet neighborhood; most people in cities tend not to be busybody.
Our neighbors to the left is a large family with grandparents, parents and children. They are nice and kindly people, and we look out for each other's houses when not at home or away. The neighbors to the right are very inconsiderate. They park their cars everywhere, once even in front of my gate; their stupid dog bark all night and day - I try to avoid them as far as possible. And the neighbors to the front and the back, are just 'hi and bye' sort!
