I love the neighborhood I’m now living in.
Even though the lots are huge with massive yards, there are a number of homes within a one mile stretch and we are extremely active with one another and have outdoor parties at different homes throughout the year.
It’s nice for my children to have other kids their age to hang out with. We will often host these massive backyard meals with everyone in the neighborhood at one person’s home each weekend during the summer season when the weather is nice outside. Otherwise it’s too cold during the winter here to have BBQs like this with everyone within a one mile radius invited. Aside from giving our kids good opportunities to hang out with their friends, I love meeting new people through my neighbors. It’s an open rule that people are allowed to invite friends and family members to these events since we all contribute food. Recently I met an amazing HVAC technician at our recent neighborhood summer picnic, which was a barbecue in my next door neighbor’s yard this time around. The HVAC technician was the fiance of another neighbor’s daughter. He had just started working in the area and was accepting new clients. I was eager to hire him since I needed a service and maintenance visit for my heating and cooling system. He turned out to be a really trustworthy HVAC technician compared to the last company I dealt with. His prices are extremely competitive compared to the other HVAC companies in town. I’m really grateful that I met him in the first place.
