Are your neighbour's?

[NFLDERS]

Good Neighbours?

 

[wiigirl]

Yes, they are very nice and so are their kids.

 

[skatalite]

Our immediate neighbors (on either side of me) are mixed, but mostly good.

The people behind us are quiet and nice enough.

The woman to our east is nice and maintains a nice home. I went to high school with her son, who is now our vet technician, so that's nice.

The house to our west... Well, if I could burn it down, I would. It was bought by a couple as a fixer-upper but they ran into problems or something because they just stopped fixing it up. It's appearance looks fine, except for the lawn. They'll come by and mow the front yard when it gets to be about a foot high, but the backyard is up to 16 inches with who-knows-what living in it.

I've left them notes, that I assume they get but have done nothing about. And I've called the city once, and despite saying they'll send someone out, no one's been out that I've noticed because the grass is still tall three weeks later.

I guess I better call again.

 

[soccerdad72]

Yes

 

[SC Minnie]

Now that the son is in jail, yes.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Yes, no complaints here!

 

[pat fan]

Sometimes.

 

[Laura66]

One on the left - NO!!!
Neighbor on the Right! The best neighbor you cld ever have! Beautiful on the inside and out! Wonderful family! That said we've had our disagreements - but everything always works out!

 

[apirateslifeforme]

We're in a condo complex (townhouses). The people to either side of us are great (one retired couple, one a single gentleman). The rest...NO. We can't wait to get out of here.

(In a nutshell...no supervision or discipline of children and lots of drug dealing...and no intervention by the property owner or association).

My neighbors on the one side of me would do anything for us. They've lived there for 17 years so we are very close. The house on our other side ????? Well 3 years ago they moved to PA but they still have not sold their house. They do come every few weeks to mow (which is not often enough but not terrible either). At first I wished they would just sell - not sure why they haven't but then i thought I could do alot worse if I didn't like who bought the house.

 

[Poohforyou]

Yes, we really can't complain about anyone right around us. There are a few families in our development that I'm glad don't live right near us.

 

[palmtreegirl]

Yes

Most of our are, except the people across the street. When we moved in the Grandmother lived there. She was a nice enough lady. She died and the grandkids moved in. It has been a nightmare. Late night police visits to our house looking for them (nothing like having the police knocking at your door at 2am because someone had called in on them for a welfare check and they aren't home so they go door to door looking for them). This morning was the one day I could sleep in after a hard week of early morning doctor and hospital visits. At 7am I am woken up by someone pounding on my door telling me they found my lost dog. Well since the dog is right next to me I knew they had the wrong house. She said the sign posted around the neighborhood said it was a white house on the corner of x and y street. Well, we are the white house on the corner, but its actually the white house across the street, but they are 2 houses from the corner so I see how they made the mistake.

They have had the dog for less than a month and they have had the police visit because of the dog (I know because I was outside and they were yelling in the yard) and now not only did the lady find the dog and keep it in her garage, she said it was hurt. Had I been awake I would have suggested she take it to the shelter so it could get the care it needs because I know they won't take care of it. It runs the neighborhood as it is now before it was hurt.

Our immediate neighbors (that the are adjacent to our property) are GREAT. Friendly, helpful, not prone to obnoxious parties or behavior. Just past our neighbors on the left, though, we've got a real doozy. They don't throw big parties, but they are decidedly UNFRIENDLY. We brought them homemade cookies when they first moved in to welcome them to the 'hood (5+ years ago) and that is the one and only time they've ever spoken to us in a friendly manner. They are arrogant pompous jerks. They bring their dog to poop on our lakefront, even though they own 3x as much lakefront as we do. What's up with that?!?!

Our "friendly" neighbors report the same experience. Weird, huh? We try to be friendly, and since we have no issues with all our other neighbors, I KNOW it's not us. LOL!

 

[PrincessJo]

Nope. We live in a regular, middle class, suburban neighborhood.

Neighbor on the left: The husband is a drunk who paces in his driveway and always leaves cigarette butts all over the ground. Wife runs a daycare... kids in and out of the house ALL DAY.

Neighbor on the right: The police had been to the house numerous times to arrest the husband for domestic abuse. The last time the police were over they arrested the man and woman for insurance fraud. The house was empty for a while... then a wonderful older lady moved it. She is fabulous... except she is constantly harrassed by people who are looking for the previous couple. We watch out for her all the time.

Neighbors across the street: They love having fighting matches in the front yard. They scream at each other so we can hear it in our house with the doors/windows closed. She moved out for a while, but she's back now. Yippee.

When my son graduates from high school and the economy improves some day... we're moving the heck out of dodge. I'm going to look for a patio home with giant walls on all sides

 

[chiefmickeymouse]

We moved into our house almost a year ago. Our neighbors all keep to themselves and some will ignore you if you wave at them. I'm not complaining, because after spending years with a neighbor from hedoublehockeypucks, I'm thrilled to have them keep to themselves!!

Everyone keeps their yards up nicely. We had to ask the neighbors behind us to end their teenagers loud, late night,work night pool party a couple of weeks ago. They were nice about it.

 

[wendy46001]

Neighbor on the left yes very sweet couple
Neighbor on the right -ignore all HOA rules and have planted a jungle (which is invading our property)
Neighbor behind us - nice people but they leave all their windows and doors open (these people need blinds or something...i so dont want to see some of the things i've seen)

So the fence goes up at the end of summer (nice fences make nice neighbors)

 

[Mokat76]

Great all around. We socialize, watch out for each other. Couldn't be happier. House behind me is vacant but he pays someone to keep up the property.

 

[maelstrom]

I live in an apartment. The man who lives to our right is quiet, keeps to himself, and is nice on the rare occasion we see him. The couple who lives to our left are around our age and we barbecue together sometimes.

The people who live upstairs are AWFUL... it's a single mom and her ~6-year-old daughter, who stomps around like an elephant and screams and carries on all the time. When the girl's father is visiting, he and the mother fight (so bad that I've almost called the cops). She has people over late into the night and they stomp and yell and slam doors. When the little girl is outside playing and wants her mother, she stands in front of my patio (her balcony is right above) and SCREAMS and carries on like I cannot even believe. And they're always dropping garbage and toys off their balcony into my patio & yard space. They are dreadful and I wish they'd move.

Ahhh the joys of country living. The nearest neighbors are about 1/4 mile to my left and maybe 2 football fields to the right? If I screamed bloddy murder neither would hear me. The ones to the left mind their business...but the husband is a sullen jerk who barely waves when he mows the property line (his farm butts up to mine). His wife is nice. I wouldn't be able to pick him out of a police lineup though. I have,on two occasions, saved their horses from dying simply because I pay attention to them and noticed them behaving oddly.

The other neighbor is an elderly widow. She lives with her adult daughter and grandchild...I think. Never really see them much.

Me? I wave to everybody who drives down our road!
