Re: What is your relationship w/your neighbors like?

Our relationship with our neighbors is the same as yours. We live on a cul-de-sac with 6 houses, and I thought everyone would be close, but it's definitely more of a wave when you see each other type of relationship. It took over a year for some neighbors to introduce themselves. When DD was born however, we did receive gifts from everyone, so that was nice. The neighbors on either side of us are young families, but older than us, and the other families are much older with grown kids and grand kids. One of the neighbors' daughters had a girl a month before my DD was born, so now we've been talking more.

Re: What is your relationship w/your neighbors like?

I have a neighbor on each side. None in back (we back up to a hill) and no one across the street (preserve area). The one guy on our left is elderly and don't see him much. He's very nice and we talk when we see each other. The guy to our right is just weird. I can't put my finger on it. Nice, just something about him... See and talk to him much more, plus he's more our age (divorced, no kids).

What is your relationship w/your neighbors like?

I actually have no desire to be friends or have a close realtionship with our neighbors. I was like this in my first house too although I did end up close with the woman across the street.

My neighbors now are jack@sses. The guy to the right of us constantly smokes pot on the side of his house closest to ours and takes minimal care of his property. We *THINK* they are renters but I have only spoken to this idiot once when he was pumping out the sludge from his inground pool into our back yard. He's an idiot. The guy on the other side is a contractor and not around much but he's a little rough around the edges for me. He's constantly SCREAMING at his kid in the morning and I feel awkward seeing him knowing he talks to his son like that. I know he has a wife but we NEVER see her so I assume he keeps her chained to the kitchen cabinets. The people across the street from us are really nice. There is an old man who I basically just wave to and then another family of 6, nice people who we will talk to on occasion and their kids are all very sweet. All of these people are much older than us so I'm sure that has something else to do with us not really being interested in becoming close with any of them.

Re: What is your relationship w/your neighbors like?

We have one immediate neighbor who is BATSHIT crazy, we avoid her like the plague. Immediately next door, on the other side, is a very elderly lady (90ish). She is sweet as pie and we are always checking on her, helping her out, picking up groceries for her if we happen to be going out, visiting bc she gets lonely, bringing her baked goods or gardening together. Other neighboring houses are a single guy and then another single girl (mid 30s to early 40s) and we are really friendly with them and sometimes hangout.

Re: What is your relationship w/your neighbors like?

There are 12 houses on my block and of those, 7 are inhabited by older (55+) or retired couples--all of whom either have no children or grown children. 3 of the other houses, I really have no idea who they are. The last house is the only other one with kids--but they are somewhat older than mine. I'd say we have a cordial, neighborly relationship with 5 of the houses; the others we either never see or don't know at all.

What is your relationship w/your neighbors like?

I agree with most of the posters, a nice friendly wave, and a hello, I don't want my neighbors to know any of my business....

What is your relationship w/your neighbors like?

A wave or a hello but nothing much...we are at least 25 years younger than our neighbors

My dh is more friendly with them, we live in his childhood home so they have know him forever and he grew up with there kids. so i wouldnt feel funny if it was an emergency and i needed help

Re: What is your relationship w/your neighbors like?

We are pretty much the same. It's odd to me too because we were close to the neighbors on my block growing up. Parties, our babysitters were across the street, bffs down the block and parents would gtg.

When we first bought dh was here painting and stuff and talked to most of the neighbors, even the lady next door. Now he only talks to the husbands and said the wives barely wave. He's outside more with yardwork and sees peolple more. He go the lowdown on some other neighbors from the few he talked to. Once in awhile someone from a few houses down will stop by. I'm rarely outside so I basically wave on my way out and that's it. The wives are always busy with the kids so they never stop and come over to chat but I get that. I'm sure once I'm out more with the kids it will be different. I'm pretty sure everyone here has central AC and just stayed in all summer because I rarely see them out with their kids unless they are getting in the car to go somewhere.

Re: What is your relationship w/your neighbors like?

We regularly hang out with about 4 of our neighbors (at least one weekend evening a month but usually more) but even those with older kids who we dont hang out with we have a good relationship with. We always say we hit lotto with our neighbors.

Our neighbors directly behind us also have the bath cabin next to us at our beach club too so we've gotten very friendly!

Re: What is your relationship w/your neighbors like?

I barely know their names. But I have never intended on making this house a home so, to be fair, I have not made any efforts to interact with them. I hope that I'm friendly with my future neighbors.

Re: What is your relationship w/your neighbors like?

We only have one neighbor next to us and we love them. We are their kids age and we've gone to all their weddings and events. Their home is gorgeous and they have thanked us numerous times for cleaning our house up. They actually told us we are the reason they didn't sell and move. We are VERY lucky!!

Re: What is your relationship w/your neighbors like?

we are in a living hell with our current neighbors. obnoxious, ignorant of others, disrectful, slobs, kid deals drugs in front of my house, their house is a complete dump with trash everywhere, constantly yelling at each other, leave dog out barking all day and all night, shovel their snow onto our lawn (breaking our fence in the process), obnoxious loud car that they rev every morning at 6am (refuse to fix it), I COULD GO ON FOREVER!! needless to say, we are moving. they literally have ruined our quality of life and i cannot take it anymore.

hoping for nice neighbors or even ones that keep to themselves at the next house. anything will be better then what we deal with, we've dealt with it all!
