Extra Eyes On Your House
Help With Grunt Work
Your neighbor may also be more inclined to help you carry in heavy things, load up your truck or power-wash your house.
Friendly Face
Neighbors might even be the first and last faces you see each day. It's so much nicer when you get a friendly smile and hello.
Cup of Sugar
It's a cliché, but ever need to borrow a cup of sugar? An egg? Maybe some coffee? It's much easier to ask if you're already on good terms. You might even be able to text them and they'll run it over to you.
They'll Pick Up Your Mail
Putting a hold on mail isn't that tough, but what if you forget and you're out of town? You know your neighbor, so text her and ask if she'll do it. She will.
Good Gossip
If you know some of your neighbors, then you have someone to gossip with about anything and everything. Why is that car always parked there? What went down last night with the police? Why does she wear high heels to mow the lawn?
Party Invites
If you know your neighbors, you might score a coveted invite to their amazing parties. It's better to be a guest than the neighbor complaining about all the noise.
