Being a Courteous Neighbor at your Apartment in Gainesville

When you live in an apartment community, being a courteous neighbor is very important. You can often have people living not just next door, but also above and below you. The first step of being a courteous neighbor is getting to know the people around you. Moving days are great opportunities to begin these relationships. Offer to help them with their belongings if you’re able to, or go over with a small welcoming gift to introduce yourself. If you’re just moving in, or don’t have a chance to speak with a neighbor, leave a note on the door introducing yourself and encouraging them to touch base.

Having an open line of communication with your neighbors at your apartment in Gainesville will make it easier to settle any problems before they arise. If you’re worried that a gathering you have planned might be a problem for your neighbors, contact them ahead of time to get their input. Always keep a cordial tone and take their objections seriously. The key is for everyone to have respect, and be on the lookout for compromises.

Most importantly, use common sense when choosing what you do in your apartment. Avoid loud subwoofers, stereos, and other sound equipment. A good set of earphones are inexpensive and the music will sound just as good if not better. Remember that people below you can hear your footsteps so walk as softly as possible and remove your shoes when in your apartment. (This will also help keep your carpet looking great.) Finally, limit the number of people you have at your apartment, especially late at night. Even three of four people talking can get loud enough to be a distraction.
