Hellobee Boards

i looooove our neighborhood. totally became a brooklyn convert as much as i doubted i would. our neighborhood is almost all families with young children. you can't walk one block without passing a stroller.

Tons of young families here too (Upper West Side, NYC). My area of the neighborhood especially has been dubbed "a college campus for babies/toddlers"! My LOs live, play and go to school with friends usually within a 4-5 block radius or right in our apt building. Our furthest playdate is just 10 blocks away. We love it!

There are some old folks too and couples without kids. Lots of dog owners as well.

Our neighborhood is full of kids as well, but a little bit older kids (10-15 or so?). Sort of funny because we moved to our neighborhood when we were only 23 and were totally out of place in the area at the time. My husband answered the door once and someone asked to speak to his mom!

Completely mixed bag -young, old, families, singles!

Our neighborhood has a lot of families with young children but not baby-young. A majority of them are probably between 6 and 12 I'd guess.

We actually don't like our neighborhood, and it makes me sad. Our immediate next-door neighbors are 1) a hermit old man who never leaves his house and couldn't be bothered to thank us when we thwarted a burglar and 2) a couple who have screaming fights with each other and who we're pretty convinced deal drugs. It's a nice suburban neighborhood, but we got unlucky with neighbors. Our 2nd summer here, our house got broken into. All of our neighbors (except the immediate neighbors) rallied around us at first, and it was really great. But after a few months, they stopped speaking to us. Now they barely wave when we drive by. We kind of talk to our neighbors across the street, but...our neighborhood is just kind weird.

Mostly older couples - this neighborhood was built in the late 60s, so there's starting to be some turnover as the original owners move out and young couples/families (like us) move in.

Families, all ages of kids, a few DINKs and retiree's mixed in as well. I love our neighborhood, I grew up 500 feet from the house DH and I bought

I'm not a fan of our neighborhood at all. We live in a townhouse within a gated community. All of the townhouses are very close to one another, and yet most people never speak to each other. We have pretty much never exchanged more than a couple of words with any of our neighbors. We all have 2-car garages under our townhouses, so basically everyone just drives into their garage and then walks right into their house. There are definitely some other families in our neighborhood, but they all just keep to themselves.
