From good to best neighbor that you can be!
May 15, 2018
Looking for the right neighborhood is one of the most important parts of finding a house. There is no question that we really love to live in a warm and peaceful neighborhood where everybody wants to get along with each other.
Sometimes, we just look for a better house, until we realize that picking the best neighborhood is a factor for our good and happy stay.
A home or a place cannot be called heaven, if we are not in good terms with the neighborhood. Even though you cannot please everyone, you still try to be a good friend or a good neighbor.
This few tips can help you as you try to be a better neighbor in the neighborhood.
1. Introduce and Reach out
As soon as you move into a new area, it is a sound move to create a splendid relationship with your neighbor. You can try this by saying "Hello" as you meet them. If someone moves in, be a friend always. Reach out, help in any way that you could and do not forget to wear your smile always.
2. Follow HOA
If your place has a homeowners association, know them by heart and follow.
3. Take care of the noise
Try to be noise-conscious. It does not mean that you have to be quiet as a mouse, but taking care of the noise can maintain a good relationship within the neighborhood. If you will be having a large group coming over into your house, try to give your neighbor a heads up. Also, if you are sharing a common wall, try not to disrupt by avoiding loud laughs and loud conversation.
4. Communication should be always present
If you have misunderstanding with your neighbor, try to communicate face to face. Do not gossip, it will just create additional problem. Talk with them directly and assess the situation. Be loving, patient and have an ear who is always willing to listen.
