Being a Good Neighbor During a Move
From prepping to packing, there are many items to think about on your to-do list when moving. But have you thought about how moving will affect your neighbors? Being a good neighbor during a move is important. Your neighbors may have been an important part of your life for years. Many may have welcomed you into the neighborhood or even become your good friends. Neighbors also watch out for each other, like keeping an eye out on your house when you are on vacation or by recommending a lawn service company. So when you are moving don’t forget about your neighbors and follow the tips below to help be a good neighbor during your move.
Communicating
First and foremost, once you have decided to move let your neighbors know. There are several benefits to communicating this information to your neighbors. Your neighbors may be willing to lend a hand during the move which is a plus even if you are hiring a moving company. You may have belongings that you don’t want to take with you that your neighbors will be willing to take off of your hands. This will save you time and money and also benefit your neighbor. Your neighbors will also want to be informed when movers are coming in order to make way on the street if need be. Moving trucks are oftentimes very large and long, so having cars parked in front of your home could be a problem. If you communicate to your neighbors you will find that they are more than willing most times to accommodate to your needs.
Moving Time
Ideally you will schedule your move during light traffic hours in your neighborhood. Moving during the weekend or during the evening hours on a week day are bad times to move. Traffic can get heavy and getting in and out of your neighborhood can become a hassle with a moving truck. The best time to schedule a move is between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on a weekday, preferably the middle of the week. Friday’s can be busy as many people take that day off to get an early start on the weekend, especially as the weather gets warmer. Hiring professional movers that are familiar with navigating busy neighborhoods will help when it is moving time. Having an experienced company help you move will ease your stress and also benefit everyone, including your neighbors.
Cleaning Up
When you are all packed and everything has been moved you may have garbage or large items that you are disposing of. If at all possible, schedule your bulk trash pickup right away and make sure your yard is free of debris. It is tempting once you are moved to “leave it and forget about it,” but by cleaning up your yard and tidying up you are being a good, respectful neighbor and person.
Saying Farewell
Even if you were not good friends with your neighbors, it is beneficial to say goodbye when you move. You never know when you may cross paths with these people down the line (remember it is a small world) and saying farewell is the neighborly thing to do. Saying goodbye also can help deal with the emotional transition that comes with moving. Whether you are moving cross country or down the street, moving can be stressful and emotionally taxing. So take a few minutes out of your busy schedule and say your goodbyes to your neighbors.
