Living with Neighbors – The Party Diaries

Another almost inevitable fate of living in a multi-unit building or a multi-family home is having to unwillingly participate in “the party next door”.

The good case scenario will be a small get-together of bio-tech scientists from MIT and the worst case scenario will feel and sound something like the Red Sox locker room October 28th, 2004.

Right before you reach for the phone and call the Police consider this: you are going to have to live next to those people even after tonight.

Here are two quick suggestions:

• Try and contain the party indoors, the more contained it is, the less affect it has on your neighbors.
• Before having a get-together that you think might infringe on your fellow residents notify them, maybe even invite them and apologize in advance.

It’s not going to make it any less annoying if you are super noisy but it will help keep the peace.
