When buying or renting a house, everyone expects not only the good quality of the house but also the nice neighbours.However, different people have different standards of good neighbours.In my opinion, a good neighbour should be someone who respects your life, and is ready to help others and concerned about the environment in the neighbourhood.
First of all, it is very important for your neighbour to respect your life.Just imagine, if you have a neighbour who is curious about you, and tries to know more about you by whatever means, what will you feel? What's more, he or she may also talk with others about your life.You will feel very uncomfortable to have such kind of people in your neighbourhood and you may move as soon as possible.
What you should consider next is that a good neighbour is always willing to give you a hand when you need him or her.For example, if you are not at home and some suspect tries to unlock your door, your neighbour who sees it should call the police, and he or she will help you to protect your property.
Finally, a good neighbour should be concerned about the environment, especially around your neighborhood.He(She) should throw all the rubbish into garbage and keep the place clean, because a good environment can make people in it comfortable all the time.
