A little consideration goes a long way. Read the following tips from eHow.com on how to be a good neighbor beyond just a smile and a wave.

 

* Welcome any new neighbors with a personal note or pop by for a personal introduction.

 

* Make sure that the outside of your home—along with the grounds—is well-kept and complies with our association’s CC&Rs.

 

* Be mindful of noise—loud music, barking dogs, power tools—that may disrupt the neighborhood beyond a reasonable hour.

 

* If you have a large party, consider your neighbors when directing your guests where to park, end the party at a reasonable hour and invite your neighbors to join in the fun.

 

* Return anything you borrow from your neighbor promptly, in the same condition they lent it to you, and express your thanks.

* Replace anything of your neighbor’s that you, your children, or pets break or soil.

 

* Respect your neighbor’s privacy.

* Offer to take care of mail pick-up, plants, or pets while your neighbor is on vacation.

 

* Be social! Inviting a neighbor for coffee and conversation can promote open communication and a friendly neighborhood environment from which all neighbors can benefit.
