One in four people feels they have a sense of community in their neighborhood. Where do you fall in? Do you feel excitement when the lady in the brown house pulls in at the same time? Or do you suddenly have to check your Instagram until she passes? 

In this episode, we share our history of funny neighborhood interactions, the unspoken rules of connecting across the property lines, and some ideas for getting to know your neighbors. 

Whether you live in the middle of nowhere or in a giant apartment building, remember, you don’t have to make a new best friend. But a happy wave and casual hello just might help create a more comfortable and joyful community...and potentially more puppy playdates and packages saved from unexpected rainstorms.  

In this episode, Maggie claims that knowing your neighbors helps with safety and security. It’s real! This article on PsychologyToday cites some research on it and AAG lists it as a top reason to get to know your neighbors.
