If you have a nice neighbor, consider yourself lucky
Having neighbors you truly get along with is surprisingly rare. At least, that’s what the research shows, especially in the U.S.
ALendingTreesurvey from 2022 found that 73% of Americans have issues with at least one of their neighbors. Among the groups most likely to have problems are Gen Zers, apartment dwellers, and Northeasterners—all at 79%. The top reasons people cited for their frustrations include giving off a “weird vibe,” being too loud, or simply being rude.
For 23% of respondents, the tension with their neighbors was serious enough to warrant calling the police. Additionally, about 1 in 10 people have relocated specifically because they didn’t get along with their neighbors. Of course,moving outjust because of a disagreement is a luxury that many can’t manage.
“In today’s hot housing market where prices are high and inventory is limited, the unfortunate reality is that some people might not have any other choice but to live near someone they don’t like,” says Jacob Channel, LendingTree senior economic analyst. “And while getting ‘bad vibes’ from a neighbor can certainly be annoying, dealing with them might be worth it if it means you have an affordable place to live.”
On the bright side, even though most people have a neighbor they don’t see eye to eye with, 74% are friends with at least some of them. In fact, these friendships can sometimes influence major decisions, such as buying or renting a house because of the neighbors. More than 1 in 10 Americans (12%) have done just that.
