The Qualities of a Good Neighbor Neighbors are people living around us beside our family. We usually know them because we live on the same street or live nearby. I have really great neighbors in my hometown. They are really nice and are willing to work together helping each other. Based on my experience, I think a good neighbor should comply the following characteristics. A good neighbor must be considerate to other people who are living around them. For instance, he/she have to know whether the party they hold at home will bother people next door or not. If there are people complaining for being too noisy, then they have to lower the voice down. It is to show that they respect other people who may be needing much rest or having an exam the day after. Secondly, a good neighbor must build convivial relationships to others in the living environment. This can be done by greeting people next door when they meet at the beginning of the day before doing activities or at the end of the day. Another way is having a conversation on weekend. A good neighbor will also join the neighbor association as soon as they become a part of the neighborhood. Willing to obey the rules is another characteristic of a good neighbor. It is common that there are certain rules apply in a neighborhood. If they are new in the area, it is imperative for them to adapt with new circumstances as well as the rules. All in all, being a good neighbor is necessary to develop a decent neighborhood. Having a good relationships with our neighbors will benefit us in many aspects, especially in time when you are in need, because beside our family and relatives, neighbors are people that we can count on.
