I am so incredibly lucky. My neighbours are amazing people. I live in a HUGE apartment complex that has hundreds of apartments and townhouses. When we moved in we thought it was so big that we'd never talk to anyone.
Our townhouse is in a block of eight 2 level 2 bedroom townhouses (in each "building" in the complex it has all 2 bedroom townhouses, or all 3 bedroom apartments, or whatever), and we know 4 other groups in our building.
On one side is a middle aged single lady who is lovely - she adopted Cleo, my first foster kitty.
On the other side is a South African couple who are probably just a couple of years older than us, and they have a 6 month old boy. They are also wonderful people and have become good friends. Next to them is a couple with a 20-something year old son, and they keep to themselves, but we smile and wave at each other.
Next to them is another couple about our age who are due to have their first child next Monday, they are also fabulous people - very sweet, friendly people and have also become good friends. They also have a cat, so we all cat sit for each other. Next to them is a couple from Argentina with a 3 year old girl, and are ALSO lovely lovely people.
We were just saying to each other the other day that we felt so incredibly lucky to have such wonderful neighbours, and have never lived anywhere that we've known so many of our neighbours and gotten along with them so well.
What about you? What are your neighbours like?
