Our next door neighbor is the guard dog of the neighborhood and always has all the gossip so if we see a cop car or anything out of the ordinary, we go and ask her what happened. She literally sits in her garage all day from 7 am to midnight to smoke and watch tv so she doesn't miss anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-151383 Tue, 08 May 2012 09:29:42 +0000 PBandBaseball 151383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll wave to people as they drive by if we're in the front yard but that's about it. We have never socialized with any of our neighbors. Hopefully our next neighborhood will be better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-151365 Tue, 08 May 2012 09:23:42 +0000 daniellemybelle 151365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where we live now, we are very friendly with our neighbors, but not actually friends, like hang-out-on-purpose friends. We will just strike up a conversation if we see each other out and about.</p> <p>We are moving soon, and I really want to get to know our neighbors. In fact, we are going to make a concerted effort to make friends other than at work. Right now, 99% of our friends are from work, and they're great, but we need some variety. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-151316 Tue, 08 May 2012 08:59:07 +0000 Alivoo01 151316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in an older neighborhood where most people's kids are grown up/married and doing their own thing. We do know our diagonally left front neighbor and the neighbor directly to our right. We exchange light conversation when we do see each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-151282 Tue, 08 May 2012 08:30:57 +0000 LuLu Mom 151282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's best friend lives a few houses down and we are friends with the neighbor's on both sides of them. We are friendly with the kids that live caddy-corner to our backyard, they always come over and play with our dog when we are outside. Otherwise, we haven't really gotten to know many of our neighbors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-151265 Tue, 08 May 2012 08:12:55 +0000 mrsjyw 151265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am with our two next door neighbors, the neighbors behind and in front of us. Outside from that, not usually. </p> <p>DH knows more neighbors from when he's out doing yardwork (plus I was in night law school our first year here) so I didn't get a chance to meet a lot of ppl.</p> <p>DH says I'm anti-social. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-151260 Tue, 08 May 2012 08:11:24 +0000 mrs. wagon 151260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live on a pretty busy street so we don't see our neighbors often. We do know the people who live in the other unit in our house though (we live in a 2 unit townhouse-style building). They're a very very very sweet older couple with a grown son who used to live there too, but moved away-- he was our age so Wagon Sr. and him used to hang out a bit. They're incredibly nice and invite us over all the time. We're really lucky because they are so, so cool. </p> <p>The family that used to live in that unit moved into their finished house last year, and we still keep in touch with them-- because the dad is a real estate broker and we totally intend on using him. He sells real estate to Red Sox players! So he's really good. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-151172 Mon, 07 May 2012 23:33:29 +0000 Red 151172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't in my previous abodes but we do here and it's awesome. We live on a private street so the kids get to play in the street sometimes and we have block parties every 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-151136 Mon, 07 May 2012 20:58:35 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 151136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our cross the street neighbors are our best friends and our neighbors on either side are both drinking buddies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-151121 Mon, 07 May 2012 20:26:53 +0000 sulli301 151121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I wish :( We have older neighbors on one side who don't talk or socialize much &amp; then the other neighbors are nice enough but we don't hang out. I wish!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-150083 Mon, 07 May 2012 00:59:32 +0000 Mrs.anniebo 150083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly , no. I live in Cincinnati which is known for not so friendly people. I can't wait to move back to a small town where I can talk to my neighbors without getting the "why are you talking to me?" look. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-150077 Mon, 07 May 2012 00:47:20 +0000 Boogs 150077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are friendly where we will wave and have some quick chit chat, but that's about it. We probably talk the most to the people next door. We've all been talking more because of some recent home invasions so we are just trying to collectively keep an eye out for our neighborhood and each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-150068 Sun, 06 May 2012 23:42:55 +0000 BoogieBea 150068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, people are super friendly around here. It's especially easy to strike up a conversation when you have LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-150067 Sun, 06 May 2012 23:27:15 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 150067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: i guess i could do that... but id have to clean my house first, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-150009 Sun, 06 May 2012 21:04:16 +0000 Shimmer 150009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're friendly but we don't invite people over and vice versa. We are one of the youngest couples in the neighborhood (another one just moved in across the street last week, but no kids). All of our neighbors are either retired or have kids in high school and beyond. </p> <p>I'm hoping to find a mom's group in the area that we can get some playdates/interaction with! Maybe when I'm walking the boys around in a stroller I'll meet some more of the younger crowd in our area! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-150005 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:59:47 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 150005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly it is quite the opposite for us. Our one neighbor is very judgmental and nebby, and accused us of starving our dog (who has allergies so his weight gain as a pup was slow). On the other side, the neighbor cut down half of the bushes in our front yard without permission. So we pretty much keep to ourselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-150001 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:53:29 +0000 chopsuey 150001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Not all of them, but most! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-149999 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:52:22 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 149999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my neighbours :) I rent from the parents of a good friend, and the couple renting the other house on the lot are also super nice. It's great compared to a lot of places we've lived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-149976 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:24:48 +0000 heffalump 149976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I loved that when we were in the townhouse too. But I didn't like that I always had to talk to people every time I left the house. Sometimes you just want to walk the dog and have some me time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-149973 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:23:24 +0000 heffalump 149973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: my sister lives there and always seems to know everyone too. Must be nice!</p> <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: no need for an excuse, just invite them to hang out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-149972 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:22:24 +0000 sslm 149972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and it's great because we live in the middle unit of a 3 unit townhouse! We're not close enough to hang out, but like to talk out in the yard and we all have dogs, so our obnoxious dog doesn't bug them, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-149967 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:20:02 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 149967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our new neighbors invited us over for some wine last night and it was great! We got along great and had a terrific time with them. Ive got to think of an excuse to invite them over soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-149966 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:19:26 +0000 mrbee 149966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! It's really amazing... one of my favorite parts of living in Brooklyn! It's kind of like living in a small town... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friendly-with-your-neighbors#post-149958 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:14:31 +0000 heffalump 149958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a meetup with a couple families in the neighborhood today. It was so nice to get to know some moms with younger kids. Lo is still too young to play, but I'm glad to know them so she'll have kids to play with in the future around here. </p>
