Be a Good Neighbor
“Community is much more than belonging to something; it’s about doing something together that makes belonging matter.” – Brian Solis
- Look up when you’re walking, smile, say hi, wave hello
- Introduce yourself and learn others’ names
- Spruce up – take pride in your home and community, clean up, plant flowers
- Spend time in your community – hang out in your yard, go to the park, attend community activities, participate in the community garden, strike up a conversation with a neighbor
- Pick up litter
- Be mindful of your neighbors: remember quiet hours, stick to your laundry time, etc.
- Welcome new families
- Lend a helping hand: shovel snow for someone, hold a door open, hold the elevator
- Invite someone over to share a meal
- Watch out for neighborhood children by driving slowly and cautiously
- Seek to understand one another
- Address concerns or issues directly with your neighbor – don’t let a problem fester and escalate.
