I like asking for referrals and appreciate the feed back on questions about out area. It's a public forum for discussion
I like it. It helps us stay connected. Even if I can' read it every day, I enjoy the updates and appreciate the photos, alerts, etc. from my neighbors.
When we choose NextDoor we did not want advertising. Now they are allowing real estate agents to post on our neighborhood feeds. Time to find another platform.
I love Nextdoor Neighbor. We are able to look up and obtain feedback on businesses, recommendations on different services. We
Can review all the pro & con's on the services you are needing. I feel word of mouth references by people who have actually had that particular service is the best type of recommendation.
Thank you for giving us this great site.

I have enjoyed wonderful successes with Next Door-meeting people, buying items, giving and receiving advise, referrals. But theres always a down side to everything and the down side is the intolerance by our neighbors to differing opinions followed by the incredible rudeness as the issue is hashed out.
I enjoy checking in with Nextdoor for all different kinds of neighborhood information offered on the site including safety issues, for sale/free items, and events of all kinds.
I use Nextdoor for all kinds of information and recommendations. I'm so glad we have this kind of platform to share amongst our community.
I appreciate the "neighborhood" feel of this resource. Generally speaking, people use it as it was intended. While on occasion, comments can get very "high school", for the most part it is a valuable resource that makes the World, just little smaller, more connected and friendly.
The one thing that bothers me is that people should know/realize that if someone is looking for a handyman today and then someone else needs one tomorrow, they don't need to post the same question.
Very informative and very good neighbors that care about their neighborhoods we need more of us to get involve watch out for one another.
I like Nextdoor as it keeps me in the loop as to what's going on in my neighborhood and surrounding areas. From break-ins to yard sales, I feel more connected to my neighborhood.
Good: Notices of upcoming events, recommendations for reliable contractors, items for sale.
Bad: "Soap box" on-line behavior in response to something as simple as "my car was broken into last night..." flavored with references to "scum" or "dirt bags" or other people as "POS" combined with not-so-subtle references to the "criminal element" which is now part of our neighborhood population but was once not present (read: people of color). I find all that distasteful and unnecessary, but remain a part of NextDoor due to the "good" still out-weighing the "bad," at least for now.
Nextdoor is very helpful to me in many ways. Some examples are 1) referrals for home services, restaurants, auto repair and barbers. 2) Neighborhood issues like crime, insects and stray cats. While most contributors are helpful, others have strange or hostile inputs. Sometimes the site administrator will improperly take sides with the perpetrator of an argument simply because that person submitted a complaint. I understand that it needs to be kept constructive but that can be quite tricky sometimes. I don't like improper advice to be disseminated so I try to diplomatically state the correct point of view.
In our fast-paced & tightly scheduled region/culture, none of us know our neighbors. Although I still don't know them personally, we have become better acquainted w. Each other over the last few yrs. Best outcomes:
- personal referrals for home repair, landscapers, painters, specialty needs (very lengthy list)
- personal appeals by adults (& teens) who need: job referrals, odd jobs, between jobs & need help
- charitable focuses eg "I know a needy family, can u donate stuff"
- opinions on local ballot issues (sometimes gets... colorful)
- someone even started up a volleyball gathering
- buying & selling stuff
- increasing topic: local security- police sometimes post! Plus coming together when there is trouble eg theft of packages, pranks, Ring Doorbell assistance ("have u seen this person?")
- seeing what real estate trends going on around us
I really appreciate this app!
I have found this app to be very helpful for notices from neighbors about garage sales, sneaky people, unwelcome intruders and just overall good gossip!
I've been a member since nearly the beginning. The layout used to be (according to me) much more user-friendly, but I still check out what is on every day
I enjoy using Nextdoor to stay informed about things that affect my neighborhood such as street repairs, garbage service, and safety.
