Yes, every darn one of them. Mostly nice, a few duds. The worst in the neighborhood is directly across the street from me. We all wish they would move.

We've been in our home for 27 years now. I know Glen and Marcus next door. Their parents bought the house brand new in 1959. Father passed away about 10 years ago and their mother is in a nursing home. They take care of the house for their mother. Mark lives next door to us. He's rented the house 3 or 4 years now. We really like him. In all the years we've been in this house, he's the ONLY person we've liked in that house. He's a mechanic out of his garage and started a towing business which we've used often: the last time just 2 days ago. Our truck died. I'm having a brain fart right now, but the guy across the street from me has rented the same house for about 30 years. He could've owned it by now. He has a pet parrot. OH! His name is Doug. The people next door to him, I cannot remember their names but they're retired now I do believe The wife used to work at the school just up the street. A former co-worker has lived in the same house for about 15 years just up the street from me. And we finally met Gary who lives at the end of the block. He's lived there well over 30 years with his wife.

I know the couple across the street. Otherwise, I just know their name and smile and wave when I see them.

Just the ones closest. The one I knew the best...and enjoyed so much moved last year for

his job. I still am not used to them being gone...and kind of expect to see them there.

However, the ones that I don't really know, are friendly and wave when passing by, or chat

a bit when walking dogs, etc. Most are still of an age that they are working, and come

and go a lot.

Definitely. I live in a super friendly city. We have block parties, ice cream socials, presents are exchanged, cookies shared and neighbors are helpful.

We know several of our neighbors and are quite friendly with the residents nearer to us, although in a non-intrusive way. This is a friendly area and usually there is an exchange of "hi" when passing others on walking trails, etc.

Well, if you mean everybody within a three block radius, sure. Love small town living.

Those that encircle me I know. Those that are nearby I sort of know. People often stop by and talk to me about my garden and I don't know where they live. I love my neighborhood, my neighbors are so kind. I wish the neighbor directly behind me was a little neater, but that's it!

I live in a courtyard home so everyone who lives here passes by my house and if Im outside they wave or stop for a chat. My direct nextdoor neighbor runs hot and cold so sometimes we have a friendly talk and other times not. Two of the houses have occupants who live away in the winter and one house is unoccupied. I do see many people from the neighborhood in the summer when there is music in the village square on weekends.

The neighbors on the Northside, just dropped by @ 9:30am THIS morning, to introduce us to their new dog, Kinley. What a sweetie pie! The neighbors across the street have a Briard, it's old, they used to breed them. He gets walked daily, we say hello. On the Southside, just ran into him at the mailbox & chatted for a long time. Yesterday Jerry, in the BIG yellow Hummer & I chatted. I'm not in love with everyone......some weird ones out there. But I know a LOT of them.

We know our next door neighbor enough to chat over the fence. Others, we wave. We moved into out house in late March 2020, just as the pandemic was really heating up here. So we never had a chance to meet, and just never have made the effort.

I know my neighbors very well but I have lived here for almost 50 years. Some are my best friends.

Mostly yes. Certainly yes to those within 2-3+ houses in each direction (and including across the street and around a corner) and many others here and there. Houses are not that close together and it's a hilly street part of the neighborhood.

Our nearest neighbor is about half a mile away. We know many of the folks nearby and are quite friendly with some. There are a few nuts mixed in too.

I know most of them but do not socialize with any of them. The houses are mostly down long winding driveways through the forest, so you don't see people in their yards. There are no sidewalks and nowhere to walk to, and with a HUGE hill about a block away, it's not a very walkable neighborhood. Some people with dogs do brave it and take walks; we always wave, but there is no place to even pull over for a conversation.
I like all of them that I know, except for my closest next door neighbor. After they encroached on my property with their woodshed, then again with their chicken coop, I paid for a survey to prove where the property line was. They pulled up the survey stakes, which was the last straw for me and I had a fence built. The woman harangued my fence builder the whole time he was out there. So, I do not speak to them.

We ive on a short street and most of the neighbors have lived here for years.

It is almost like the immediate neighbors are like family.

It's more like my neighbors know me since it seems like I live outside, but yeah any house in eyesight gets our surplus garden goodies so they're mostly happy to see me,,,,,, until the zucchinis kick into high gear :-) Best neighbors/hood ever!

I know those that live right by and right across the street. Hubs knows a few more, and they know him as he's an HVAC person, and someone is always asking for help. Some he helps, some he gives them a phone number to call. LOL

We both wave as the neighbors walk by if we're outside, and always speak. We have a pretty good 'hood. Not to big... about 3 homes, each on about 2 acres. Not too close, not too far.

yes

I know a few of my neighbors pretty well. My immediate next door neighbor I was pretty close too. She passed away last year in her late 80's. I took in her pets since they already knew me also and they could stay together.

Well, yes I guess. I only have 1 neighbor that I can see. Her property borders ours and right there on the line is where her house is. she is very nice, keeps to herself, as we do. We are friendly in passing. I learned from a third party that she broke her hand recently. I had noticed an uptick in visitors to her house, and hoped that everything was alright, but I did not want to call and impose. She is in her eighties and a widow. She calls a few times here and there if needs immediate help with something. Her son and grandsons usually take care of everything.

And I know the man who owns the property behind and surrounding me. I knew him before he bought it, my employer did business with him at one point and I had talked to him on the phone numerous times before. When the property sold I was very happy it was to him. He got out of the business he was in and is now in landscape, so I am going to call him to bring me masses of mulch in the next month or so. Funny story, he called me at work one night, and asked me "what are those colorful flowers you have behind your house? I don't wanna freak you out or anything but I wanted some!" It made me laugh as his property line is probably 6 inches away from where my flower beds end. He also wanted to tell me that there is a honeybee hive about 300 yards from my house in a big tree and asked me very kindly if I would refrain from spraying anything that might hurt his bees on my flowers when they were blooming. I cant see his house though, which I am happy about. His property is something like 150 acres, with 2 private lakes on it and he and his wife built a little cabin to live in smack dab in the middle of it.

I hated all the neighbors when we lived in a subdivision. All they were good for was producing bad little children and asking for favors.....

Yes, we know quite a few of them, and especially enjoy talking with our immediate left and right neighbors.

My building has 330 apartments. We've lived here almost eight years, and are relatively newcomers. The woman down the hall is in her 70s and her parents lived here when she was born. I don't know everyone by name and I'm not good with faces, but it's the kind of building where people chat in the elevator. It's also very pet friendly and I know a lot of the dogs.

My old building only had 24 apartments and they were all very tiny studios. It, too, was friendly. I was especially close friends with the super and we hung out a lot. (Sometimes he'd hide in my apartment if he didn't feel like being on call. This was before cell phones.) He moved to Florida years ago. I will be going down there in a few weeks, and hope to get together with him.

Mostly I know just the ones within six houses of us. Nice and cheerful people, all. There are some forty houses on this block, some of them buildings with two - four apartments. I do know four families at the far end of the block, too.

There is an Air BNB next to us. I really like the restaurateur who lived there for three months. Now, we seem to have traveling nurses sharing quarters there. I guess that has been the last two months. That AirBNB allows pets and has a fenced yard for them to go out, so it does attract people who travel with their dogs.

Next door is a ballet dancer / teacher. We have mutually friends in another country, so I was disposed to like him from day one.

On the whole, the neighbors I know seem like unusually good-natured people, kind of exuberant. The kind of people who walk fast with a bit of bounce and smile a lot. Oh, there have always been quite a few musicians here. I think there might be some kind of city big-wig somewhere on the block. This block seems to get city services a little beyond what the average block does.

There is 4 of us on a private road. The houses all are on the same side of the road on about an acre each. I guess people like us live on a private road for the privacy. Nobody has minor kids or barking dogs. We say hi and maybe a short chit-chat if they take a walk when we're out working in the yard, but nobody socializes.. I guess the person I talked to the most is the lady next door but only if we are both outside in the summer. I just learned 2 weeks ago that her and her hubby are getting divorced. She moved out last weekend. I wonder if they are going to sell the house. I can't see him staying there by himself. He isn't much of a yard work kind of guy to say the least. He cuts the lawn and that is about it. She did everything else. They were quiet and we never had a problem with them. . As they say "you know what you got, but you don't know what you're going to get".. I just hope it isn't the family from hell.

.

Even though I live in a town , my lot is big enough I don't have any close-up neighbors and also I'm on a corner lot. I am friends with one neighbor and wave to others.

I envy those to live in chatty, friendly neighborhoods. Zalco’s area sounds awesome!

Once in awhile, i briefly talk to my neighbour across the street. People seem to keep to themselves or there isn't anything in common other than brief chats.

We have lived here over 35 years and have seen all the neighbors come and go. One of the houses closes to us has changed hands 5 times. We are on a private hilllside tree covered road on 2.5 acres. The houses on the street have 2-5 acres lots with the houses, like ours, set way back from the road. Our driveway is 400 feet from the street and only see people when we get the mail. We wave and say hi but don't really chat.

We had one really nice neighbor that we would chat with over the fence. I hated to see them move away. We have had some really nasty pieces that we couldn't wait to see leave. Most of them keep to themselves, like we do. I think a lot of them moved out to the country to get away from people.

In my new apartment I met 2 guys next door. They are young, polite and quiet. People downstairs I met the two guys (haven't met the mom). They too are nice although the younger one doesn't seem to have manners. Was bringing in groceries and he just stood there...didn't open or hold door for me.

My old apartment I regret being nice to few neighbors. Their favorite lines were "can I borrow this...can you give me ride someplace and I need smokes" Glad I'm in New building.

I know a bunch of the neighbors because we all moved in around the same time. Some of the neighbors I knew best have already moved on. So far, we have mainly good neighbors. The really bad ones made international news, but not for being a bad neighbor. Lol!

samkarenorkaren, I heard the complaint fron a few ladies who still drove when they moved into a senior citizen high rise. Everyone wanted them to be their personal driver or were shoving their shopping lists at them. Meanwhile there were vans (free) that took the seniors to various stores for shopping and access vans for doctors appointments. They didn't want to use the vans because it was a inconvenience to have to wait while everyone else finished their shopping. So, as long as they weren't inconvenienced they didn't care if they inconvenienced someone else.

When my SIL moved into a high rise she told everyone a fib that she was not allowed to ride anyone in her car and not well enough to do their grocery shopping. She didn't win the most popular tenant and doesn't care.

The houses here are very spread out, and all set off the road down very long driveways. Mine included. There are 5 houses in about a mile and a third. I have met all of those people. All have been very nice. (I have only lived here 2 1/2 years.) The road makes a curve at my place and goes for several miles through the National Forest, and no houses, until you get to the end of that road, and so far, I have met 2 people that live down there. I feel like if something happened and I needed someone (I am alone now), I could count on any one of them to help me. However, I am not a person to pester my neighbors and I wouldn't ask for anything, unless it was an emergency.

I always tried to know my neighbors, and when I lived in Venice I did, even when some moved out and others moved in. Some of them (LMU students) invited me to their parties, and I would give them leftover food when I cooked too much. As male college students, they appreciated this a lot, and I thought they were fun. Surfers lived on the other side of me, and they were fun also, if a bit goofy at times.

I don't know the neighbors that well in Westchester, which is more of a suburban neighborhood, even though it is in the city limits of Los Angeles. I used to know one neighbor very well, and I gave her keys to my gate so that she could water plants when I was out of town, but she and her husband moved away about a year after their first child was born. The house next door to them is owned by a plumber, and I used him once but then changed to a different neighborhood plumber who was more available. Next to him is a woman who rents, and she owns an emotional support pig, which no one in the neighborhood likes.

On the other side from us in Westchester is a Japanese woman that I tried to meet, and she is friendly enough but keeps to herself, especially after her sons graduated from college. The sons were more friendly that she was.

On the other side from her is a anesthesiologist, which I know because one of his professional magazines was delivered to us by mistake. I just left it in his mailbox.

In Cathedral City, the neighbor to the west of us is a member of the Agua Caliente tribe and therefore is part owner of a casino. I've never met her, but I met her maid, who gave me some information about her. I sort of know the neighbors to the east of us, but I find the children who visit them to be extremely annoying, and I'm afraid they might get worse when they reach their teenage years. Right now the girl (who is about 12, I think) brings a friend with her to play in the yards, and the first girl screams at the top of her lungs the entire time she is outside. I'm not sure which tribe she belongs to, but it must be a loud one. She torments her younger brother (who is about 5), causing him to scream as well. I yell at them if they come into my yard and scream. I'm considering planting a cactus wall along the border with them.

Yes, most of the time. BUT, I swear that our former nextdoor neighbor was in the Witness Protection Program or was just someone extremely strange. A single man who lived next door to us for 2 1/2 years and we never saw him even once! Ever! His (very nice) SUV had very “smoked” privacy windows. You could tell a person was in the drivers seat, but nothing else. He would never answer the door or his phone. There was just a generic automated message on his answering machine. He declined, via messaging, to attend any of our twice yearly homeowner meetings for our VERY small association. Took his trash to the curb in the middle of the night (we have no street lamps here in our mountain community). He had a lovely, big covered back patio with a fireplace. Our bedroom and walled patio faced it, but we are all several acres apart. Still, we never saw any signs of life out there, ever. And, no, I’m not a nosey neighbor. I never even knocked on his door ever! This is a pricey road to live on, and we‘d heard that he worked in ”chemicals” and his successful business was done via the internet for the most part. There was some talk among the neighbors that he was running a meth lab. I have no idea about that, though!!

And then, one day we all heard that although he was a supposed healthy, youngish man in his early forties, he’d just suddenly dropped over dead at ”a friend’s home“ somewhere nearby. And, a generic moving van came by to haul everything away someplace about two weeks later. Perhaps he was actually not deceased and just was relocated someplace else. Who knows?!? It was just all VERY strange (LOL)!

Lars, screaming kids are awful. I don't mind them making normal noises when they're out playing but the shrieking is bad. I used to really enjoy my sunroom, would sit out in it and read for hours, sipping coffee or iced tea. Then new people with screaming boys moved in diagonally from my back yard to me. I quit using my sunroom, which was one of the reasons I picked this house in the first place. I think they've since moved away and now there is a bunch of dogs there, including a giant Great Pyrinese who barks night and day. I'm now the crazy old lady who asks the neighbor's dogs what they're barking at when I let my dogs out back or go do something out there.

The older woman I spoke to was so chatty that in about 10 minutes I learned that she had recently had a stroke and her husband had Altheimer's and passed away at the hospital I work at. I also learned she doesn't like little kids. The neighbor next door has a little boy, who is just fine. He says hi to me and waves when I'm out front and at Halloween told me he lived next door. He lives in between me and this lady. I did have some issues with his father and his friends when he first bought that house. Driving through my side yard from his backyard and then down my driveway with their giant trucks, putting big muddy tire tracks in my lawn and mud all down my driveway. Other things that went on all night long that made me think there were drug dealings going on. That hasn't happened in a long time.

She also misses the old days when people talked to their neighbors, saying she doesn't know anyone and thought I had recently bought my house since I guess I put a new roof on it??? Apparently, the neighbor directly across from me won't even make eye contact with her when she waves and says hi to her. I told her she came over and said hi to me when she first moved in but haven't really talked to her since.

She told me someone stole all her flowerpots about 8 years ago from the front of her home. I told her I've never had anything go missing from my yard, including boxes that sit out for a couple days.

I wonder what the other neighbors think of me and each other-lol.

Ugh...I hate kids who scream for no reason too. Had 2 of themat old place...they lived in another building. They would chase each other and scream non stop. Some neighbors complained to parents and a brawl almost started. Police were called to stop it.

Also had kids who would leave toys and bikes all over the place (I almost backed over one with car). I know one lady got so mad cuz she tripped and fell on a scooter that was laying in grass. She wasn't hurt but she tossed the scooter in the dumpster.

Functionthenlook...I've learned...be polite but keep to myself.

Yes, I know most of my neighbors on my block and one has become a very good friend. we have newish neighbors 3 doors down whom I don’t know yet, but I’ll introduce myself properly someday soon. I'm so very glad we ended up in our neighborhood.

Yes, we know many of them. Some we are quite friendly with, going out to dinner together, baking for each other, visiting and eating over each others' homes, attending parties etc. We have shared keys to our homes with a couple of them while we are out of town and they have done likewise. We chat with others that are further away, text etc. There have been a few that have moved away and we have quite a few newbies in the neighborhood. We are all a pretty friendly bunch.
