The core of a good neighbor is the type of relationships established among its neighbors. The first step in building a relationship is respecting those next door, down the street and around the corner.
While people have their own ideas of a good neighborhood, there are some basic standards established either through the City's code and zoning laws or through common courtesies that make life better in your community.
