It’s essential to show respect for your neighbors
Whether you are renting a space or have just bought a new home, it’s important that you are well-behaved with people who live next door. Being a good neighbor not only helps promote positive relationships but also helps build trust and cooperation among residents.
Remember, no one enjoys living next to someone who lacks manners. You should treat people the way you want them to treat you. For instance, you should be respectful of others, especially when living in a neighborhood. Living next to someone doesn’t give you ‘special’ rights over their property.
You should respect your neighbor’s privacy and home. This implies that you must refrain from purposely causing harm to their property, such as smashing windows, writing on the walls, or messing with their possessions. Not only is this morally wrong, but it could also lead to legal actions against you.
You should try to get to know people living around you. According to a 2019 Pew Research Center survey, 43% of Americans say they know most or all of their neighbors, compared to 57% who say they know some of them.

Building a good neighborhood requires effort and cooperation
You can begin with simple acts of friendliness like waving hello when you step outside or having a quick conversation with people when you see them in the neighborhood. If you are able to build a connection, you can lean on your neighbors in times of need and vice versa.
