Would You Rather Live Next to a Nosy Neighbor or a Loud Neighbor?

When it comes to neighbors, it’s often a case of “pick your poison.”

 Nosy Neighbor – You know the type. Watches your every move, times your comings and goings, and treats your Ring camera like it’s a community news feed.
• Loud Neighbor – Whether it’s midnight karaoke, backyard bonfires with bad acoustic guitar, or a dog that could compete with a megaphone, it’s never quiet.
• The Perfect Neighbor – A unicorn. Quiet, kind, minds their own business, and only emerges on trash day.

So, what’s worse—being constantly watched or never sleeping again? I’ve seen both affect home sales in Auburn and Opelika, AL. Believe it or not, the right neighbor can boost a home’s value… and the wrong one? Let’s just say, some buyers run the other way.

Have you ever had to choose between two neighborhood nightmares? Comment below—I’ve got stories, and I bet you do too.

Looking to buy or sell in a neighborhood where the neighbors don’t come with a warning label? I can help you find the right fit in Auburn or Opelika, Alabama. Call/text me at 334-332-7263.

Hi Laura,

A good neighbor is never guaranteed. Even if the neighbors are great, they could move, and someone obnoxious could move in next door.

To answer your question, though, I'd if I had to choose between nosy and noisy, I'd choose "nosy".
