I live in an apartment with many neighbors, I like some of them but I am constantly regulating my floor and telling them to shut their door. Vietnamese people like to keep their doors open so all their noise funnels into my apartment.

I have two good neighbors that are very nice and helpful. One’s a retired mechanic and the other one is a war vet who is a handy man also retired. When I have questions about my car or house these gentlemen come through with open arms.

I get along with the older crowd, not really Gen Alpha, Gen Z and most millennials. The older people just have more respect and decency, and they drive on the roads a lot more carefully and considerate it seems.

I live on an old farm back off into the bayou so my closest neighbor is the old farmer and his wife who are about a mile or so over so I only see them when I go over for whatever.

I like my privacy and quiet so I enjoy the no neighbors thing. Haven't had any since I was 20

Live on a cul-de-sac and know all their names. They are great.
Help each other often w/ packages, yard word, working on cars (one's a mechanic and welder).

Like JDS mentioned, having a mechanic two houses down is great.

Moved so many times - half the time don’t even get to know them.

Had quite a few weird ones over the years.

Last place I swear the neighbors were some kind of cartel kingpins / family of like 11 living in a very nice house - coming and going all hours with cameras and security everywhere on a dead end street.

New place - been here a year and a half - haven’t met one neighbor. One neighbor actually died last week and didn’t hear about it until yesterday (older guy - had been battling cancer for a while - saw all the vehicles at their house last week and figured something was up).

Living in a. Condo was worst for neighbors - 1 on each side - plus condo board a bunch of senior citizen nazis.

Our first place actually best neighbors - old lady across the street who was a 24/7 neighborhood watch - several nice ones and then the genius next door who “accidentally” burned his house down deep frying something - left unattended and looked back to see flames (this was the guy who signed for the bottle of champagne from BetOnline mentioned in an earlier thread - used my name and his phone number because he didn’t know mine).

This reminded me of a family that moved into our neighborhood a few blocks away about 5 years ago. They were only here for about 2 months. They rented a house on the main street coming into our neighborhood. Everyone passed their house when you entered the area.

They were African American and unfortuntely, stood out in the pretty much all white/hispanic , very conservative, and quiet neighborhood.

Things that stood out:
  • Purple Cadillac with white rag top. Gold spinner hubcaps. Dad's car.
  • The men (adult dad and teen sons) wore white tank top T-shirts, shorts hanging below their butts, etc.... Mom had long pink hair and dressed like a street walker.
  • Parties until 3-4 in the morning with people passed out in the yard.
  • Cops coming over constantly (we never see cops in the neighborhood normally).
  • The police had a stakeout a half a block away to watch the house for a couple weeks.
Busted for selling drugs.

Not sure WTH they were thinking. Renting a house to sell drugs in a neighborhood full of uptight conservatives. What? Nobody is going to notice?
