Neighbors

Ever find yourself dealing with unexpected visitors outside your apartment? No, not your clingy ex who can’t take a hint—we’re talking about stray animals.

In an apartment, living in such close proximity to others, there is no excuse for being a loud, obnoxious, inconsiderate neighbor.

What would you do if you found a massive jackpot of cash on the street and no one was around?

The truth is bold and in front of us. It's been repeated throughout the history of our society. When the economy is down, crime goes up. Theft and burglary are two HUGE crimes that raise during times of trouble.

No matter where you go, you may run into issues with your neighbor. The best thing that you can do is do your part in being a good neighbor. Lead by example.

So a neighbor at your apartment who you hardly know has invited you to attend a gathering at their place, but you barely know them.

Ever had upstairs neighbors who were in an awesome rock band, yet seemed to rehearse above you late hours into the night.

In our many years of living in apartments, we have learned one VERY valuable thing to keep in mind:

One of the greatest benefits to living in an apartment is that you are among a community of other people who can look out for you when you need help with something and vice versa.

Does it often sound like your upstairs neighbor either runs an underground Wrestling federation, trains elephants, or is a giant who plays a whole lot of Dance, Dance, Revolution with heavily weighted clown shoes?
