Families With Children Make Lousy Neighbors

Some people Don't like children to be in their neighborhoods.

Couples without children received the highest ratings (58%) and retirees garnered the second most (54%). Both were seen as less intrusive and not as bothersome (or noisy) as other types of neighbors. As one real estate analyst put it, “Some people don’t like children.”

In other words, to win the neighbor popularity contest: be quiet (no screaming tots, loud house parties or quarreling teens) and take an interest in your home (trim those shrubs and watch the peeling paint).

“As for retirees, they don’t have a lot to do, so they tend to cut their grass regularly, they shovel their snow, they have nice gardens, and they bake you cookies,” the one Canadian real-estate professional said in the story.
