Meet 'n greet

What? You haven't met your neighbors? We can't have that. March out there and introduce yourself.

Yard duty

Nothing drives neighbors crazy like staring at a messy yard. ​If you're lucky enough to have an actual lawn — make sure you take care of it.
[*]

​Don't be (too) nosy

Some folks enjoy their privacy more than others. Don't ask too many questions, especially if it appears your neighbor isn't that keen on sharing information.​
