Do you know your neighbors? The houe next door to mine was recently foreclosed on and has been vacant or the past 8ish months. It has been nice not having neighbors for that period. No noise, no parties, no one parking in front of our house... I learned this past week that there are 2 men who have bought this house next door and they have started coming over and tinkering with different things, cleaning up the backyard, moving some old appliances out. I am waiting in trepidation to see what type of neighbors these folks will be. Partyers? Loud domestics? Drug dealers? Or perhaps fixing it up to rent it out? Its hard not to think of worsr case scenarios as I have had some crappy neighbors, like probably most people have. I guess time will tell. Do you know your neighbors?

I moved to a new home a little over 4 months ago and I don' know my neighbours at all and they don't know me. But the neighbourhood is peaceful and I like my new place.

I do not know their names but they seem to be good people who enjoy it when we give them gifts that we do not need anymore such as toys and other materials that they need.

One wants to control what we do and they live 1/2 mile or more away, the others are quiet.

Wow. Rthat is frustrating. I guess at least you have a small amount of distance between you and them!

We live in the woods, so we really don't have any., been that way for years. I have lived in the city, and around everything you just named, I would wonder too.

The people down the hill I know...I kind of wish I didn't. He has historically been a troublemaker in this community. I do not know the people next door as they are fairly recent arrivals. The ones across the street are rarely here as this is a second home for them. They don't really have a house just kind of store toys here..ie jetski etc.

I was lucky to have good neighbors when I owned my home. I live in an apartment building now, and other than saying hi to them, I don't really know them. Besides, I don't speak Spanish, which all but one of the people in my building do.

I hope you end up with good, quiet neighbors. We have a set of neighbors who scream their arguments and foul words as though they thin we all want to hear whats going on.

We cannot choose our neighbors and I have an elderly lady who speaks only Chinese. We get along fine, and we help her in times of need. Some neighbors are a godsend while others give us sleepless nights - siva

Yes, because our neighbors are our relatives. They are too loud and sometimes fighting is not a new thing to us. That is why I always stay in my room.

Yes, I know all the neighbors, we are not many, a total of 12 individual houses served by the same private road. They are all good and quiet neighbors.

I have very loud neighbours at present, i avoid them as much as possible. So, i can understand your feelings. But let's hope that those people are good and not judge them until something happens
