What's your neighbourhood like?

[B.]

Mines really pretentious and full of pretentious rich kids and tbh i am one probably of those kids

Think leafy green suburbs with huge houses and gleaming porshes/audis/ferraris on the driveways with four letter registration plates and a bunch of spoilt brats in twerpy green school uniform and thats a pretty accurate picture

What's yours like?

[Pumpka]

Mine is kind of average I think. Average sized one-family houses with smallish gardens. The houses have all been built about 16-17 years ago, so most people who live there are people with children who are about that age or a little older, some have already moved away or are spending a year abroad or something. Most families have two cars, one where they all fit in together and a smaller one.

There is a sign that says there might be children playing on the street so you are only allowed to drive very slowly and without using the gas pedal, i don't know if that exists in other countries, so when we were all smaller there were children playing there all the time, but now not. Most people have cats and/or dogs.
It's quite close to the end of the village where there are fields and stuff.

snowy right now

It's right in the middle of the city. Mostly horribly small and shabby houses built in the '20s. The city graveyard is right behind my backyard, the city library is on one corner of the street, and an elementary school is on the other.

We have Children Crossing signs too, but how can you move without the gas pedal?

[Pumpka]

When I drive and then put my foot away from the gas pedal, the car keeps moving. Of course you are allowed to use the gas pedal to start moving.

I live on a council estate with lots of apartment buildings on one side and smallish houses on the other. i live in a smallish house

[Linda Rhaldeen]

I live in an area with older houses and the occasional small apartment complex, the house I live in was built in 1940 I think. I have 2 roommates and we live in the basement of the house, and our landlords are a couple in their 30s with 2 boys that live on the main floor of the house. The area is an eclectic mix of old retired people who own their homes, a few younger people who are homeowners (like my landlords), and a lot of renters, either single people or young married couples.

I love my neighborhood. It's by the beach, so I have a view of the ocean from my bedroom window. It's mostly relatively small buildings. I live in one of its main avenues, which has these beautiful big trees that make for very pleasant shade on my walks home from school.

jelly much? i literally live in a tropical island. born and raised, yo.

I live in an apartment complex on a dead end street surrounded by old but moderately well maintained houses and apartments of which 99% of the tenants are Hispanic. It's mostly street parking so the both sides of the streets are always full of cars both old and new but never anything fancy. On the street there's often young adults sitting out around listening to hip hop and smoking weed and cigarettes. In the back alley there are old men, some shirted some not, listening to Mexican polka and drinking beer. They sometimes wave and blow kisses at me as I drive past and sometimes I'll drive the other way just to avoid them even though I'm positive they're harmless. Every five hours or so you'll hear the an irritating rendition of La Cucaracha and know that "The Cucaracha" truck that sells produce out if it's back door must be nearby. Once I bought a melon from it and it was actually a pretty good melon.

it's nice. i'm close to a main road so it's easy for me to go to the store and take the bus and stuff, and in the other direction it's less then a 5 minute walk to the beach. the houses are mostly very nice and on quiet streets, though i'm closer to the min road so i hear a lot of traffic noise but idc bc i'm totally used to it.

It's relatively safe, which is a good thing, and it has a mix of very new and large houses and fortyish-year-old medium-sized houses. Few apartment complexes and good access to public transport, which is why I can afford to not drive. Near to the beach but not exactly "by the sea". The inhabitants are somewhat boring, but not particularly annoying. When you walk around the streets you will never see anyone wearing anything remotely original (if you do, that'll be me), but you'll see a lot of dogs. Overall I like it here, but it sometimes bores me. Luckily there's a lot of places I can get to easily that are far more interesting.

I live on the same street as my school, and like five kids from my school. I talk to none of them. My neighbourhood is the best of a bad bunch, and is pretty middle class. To my left, there are flats, in which massive bogans live, and to my right is a sweet old lady.

Pen's and Anka's are my favourite.

I would like to see a sitcom set in Betsy or Bandit's neighbourhood.

I mainly made this thread because it made me realise how superficial my town is and how much I can't wait to leave

[Linda Rhaldeen]

^ That was me before I moved out. I like visiting my family because I like my family but I hate the neighborhood I grew up in and always hope I won't see any neighbors whenever I visit.
