Most of us have been there at one time or another. In fact, my husband and I are in that category right now. Looking for a new house to purchase or a new apartment to rent and trying to find one house that meets all of the criteria that you have is hard. Most homes have the amenities listed or told to you but there is one aspect that can be almost impossible to discover until you move there. Your neighborhood and surrounding neighbors' attitudes and morals are hard to judge. Most of us have had to tell with a bad or annoying neighbor and no one wants to move in next to one. There is a new website that can help you out in your buying and moving decision. It is a website called www.rottenneighbor.com and it allows neighbors to rate and comment about other neighbors. It allows people to talk about what they know and see on a daily basis of other citizens in the neighborhood. Read on to find out what www.rottenneighbor.com can do for you or against you

At www.rottenneighbor.com there is a place that you can type the address of your home or potential home. Type in the address and you will be taken to a satellite overview image of the house and surrounding area. You can zoom in and out to focus on your home or the neighbors' house. The houses that have good comments about them will be colored green, the neighbors that have mixed complaints will be yellow, and the worst neighbors will have red homes. Here you can click on the neighbors' home and read the good, the bad and the ugly. While one person's experience is not necessarily what all people will experience with that neighbor but it may make your privy to some neighborhood drama. One does not want to walk right into a cul-de-sac that has more drama than Wisteria Lane on Desperate Housewives.

www.rottenneighbor.com you can also look at what your current neighbors think about you. Have a neighbor that always gives you dirty looks and you do not know why? Look at www.rottenneighbor.com and see if you can solve the mystery. The website provides some crystal clear satellite pictures of your neighborhood as well. These are pretty neat pictures though they are kind of older. Discover all the dirt and drama that is occurring in your neck of the woods at www.rottenneighbor.com. Make sure that you say hi to your neighbor today or you may red housed next. How do you feel about this new and unique website?

    We live in a great 55+ neighborhood and my husband is on the board and makes the decisions.

    Could lead to some really nasty lawsuits.

    I cannot even begin to address this issue. Neigbors have the unfettered ability to make comments regardless of the truth. Sometimes despite your best efforts to live peaceably some people just don't like anyone. Great article. I'm leaving with these comments because I could really go off on this. (Not you. I appreciate the info.)
