The Nosey Neighbor
At some point or another you will probably have to deal with that nosey neighbor who just can’t seem to mind their own business. We all appreciate a friend, but this person thrives on knowing your business and invading your privacy. There are multiple ways to deal with such a character—some better than others—but in this case we suggest that honesty is always the best policy. Without being rude or
confrontational, just express your desire for a little more privacy or establish some boundaries. If they are a good neighbor, they will respect you and your privacy. If not, you will likely not hear from them again and either way your problem is solved.
Neighborhood Watch
A great way to increase the safety and community feeling of a neighborhood is to institute neighborhood watch. You will foster better relationships with your neighbors as you participate in a team effort to prevent crime and protect your neighborhood.
Block Parties
Block parties are a fun excuse to get everyone together and create friendships among neighbors. When the weather gets nice, go door to door and talk with your neighbors about hosting a party at the end of the block. You might invite one or two families to help you spearhead the event or solicit the help of each neighbor to put on a great party. You will make friends, foster a sense of community, and get a great party out of it!
