Love it here! Please keep out loud neighbors. It draws away from the community and hurts the good renters.

06/08/2009 4:30 AM - In an apartment, living in such close proximity to others, there is no excuse for being a loud, obnoxious, inconsiderate neighbor.

Every single morning, without fail, I know exactly when my upstairs neighbors are leaving for the day, or whatever they are doing......VERY EARLY. It is one of the first signs of being a naughty neighbor who is inconsiderate of their neighbors.

I want every Apartment-ite out there to please work on being a GOOD neighbor.

Always remember that you live in a community with other people, so try to be considerate, aware, and conscious of the little things that may bother those around you.

My upstairs neighbors SLAM shuts the door in the wee hours of the morning, which seems to slightly shake the entire building and make a very loud echoing boom that I am sure can be heard several buildings over. Then, they bound down the one flight of stairs like a herd of elephants with cattle taped to their feet. This is nothing but inconsiderate and LOUD.

AND walking, heavy feet/people rent the ground level please. If you are sooooo heavy/footed that the floors creek under you while you are walking, getting up in the morning, moving in and out of bed - you should never rent anything above ground level.

I think we should all start a pact to try our hardest to be a good neighbor. You in'

Being aware of your actions and how they effect your environment is the best ingredient to the recipe of being a great neighbor. Being oblivious is an excuse.

While we are on the subject of being a great neighbor, keep an eye out for your neighbors when they are gone. If you see something suspicious or a suspicious looking character, don't be afraid to call the office and let them know. It's like the neighborhood watch, but EVEN BETTER!

Being a good neighbor in your apartment is easy...start thinking about it today!

I live in these apartments and live on a top floor. I only weigh 120 but unfortunatly no matter how careful I am the floorboards ALWAYS squeak and I know I sound like an elephant. Even my 9 lb cat makes the floorboards squeak. I feel bad for my downstairs neightbors but it is a poorly built old apartment so that can't be helped unless people learn to fly. By the way, even though they are below me my downstairs neighbors make such noise they sound like they are banging on the ceiling though I know they are just living their lives. I will be moving when my lease is up due to noise due to the poor consturction.
