    About this ebook

    Too Close: Path to Euphoric Living with Adjoining Neighbors recounts the past living situations and experiences of the author in a search for suitable, maintenance free, reasonably priced housing in New Jersey unit relocating out of state. The ultimate goal in mind was the avoidance of purchasing a house and the ability for quick termination of the arrangement. The failure to realize there were more factors at play than realized with the potential of causing extreme unpleasantness and misery resulted in the multiple address changes and the seemingly constant state of always moving out or moving in.

    Even with a past history that includes being a real estate agent, builder and living in several interesting locations during time in the military, he still overlooked or failed to recognize certain indicators of potential issues. Some were simple, or even known, some never heard of before. But one would never expect strangers to knock on the door and ask, “Can I use the bathroom?” or wake up to find the landlord doing laundry in the unit you’re renting. Moreover dealing with frustration of playing games or the run around with a condo board, home owners association or management company after closing.

    Bottom line is many people have lost all sense of boundaries and common courtesy, some association don’t want to or make it difficult to do anything along with some locations not being ideal. Identifying and eliminating as many potential sources of annoyance and turmoil before committing to the new home is imperative for euphoric living.

      Introduction

      Whether it’s an apartment, condominium, multifamily, townhouse, room share situation, or even a single-family residence, this book is to serve as a general aide in the consideration process of purchasing or renting. There are several possible indications or signs that may give an indication of how living in that particular place even before viewing the inside. Depending on the individuals, personalities and tolerances, some signs may not be an issue at all, some may not be an issue at first but may grow into one as time goes on and some may be realized during day one that it is a problem. The trick, which may prove impossible, is to identify all of the potential issues and sources of distress before any type of commitment is made, especially since moving again so soon may not be possible and change for the better usually takes a long time. It is easy enough to paint, change something in the dwelling or plant some trees flowers, but there are several annoyances that will not be able to be changed or controlled, which will tend to be the most frustrating because there is most likely absolutely nothing to be done. Fortunately, several of the potential signs are now revealed so others may avoid some of the unpleasantness that follows after the dust settles from the move.

      Chapter 1

      Location! Location! Location!

      Location is one of the most vital components used during the search for any new living quarters. It is crucial for many reasons including crime, overall quality of life, prestige, resale, schools, services, and taxes. Unfortunately, times have changed for the worst, and in many cases the established theories, such as the moving into the best town in the designated area even if means living in the worst accommodations, still leaves a multitude of factors unconsidered. In addition other theories that need additional information are searching out towns with good schools, new construction or up-and-coming neighborhoods. All of these ideas are a terrific starting point. Consequently, even if some or all of the location’s criteria is met, there are some issues that may have never been considered that may cause some degree of unpleasantness after it becomes too late.

      Above a Business

      Often there are apartments over stores and local businesses. Whether they were originally intended for this purpose or were once office space that was converted, it really doesn’t matter. However, inhabiting space over a business may be unpleasant for several reasons, such as the type of business, hours and cliental.

      Alarms/Sirens

      In several areas the use of a deafening alarm style alarm that can be heard throughout the surrounding area is still utilized. Whether the use is to signal first responders, an emergency or even take place the same time every day, residing too close to such an alarm may be the source of distress or aggravation.

      Business Locations (Commercial, Industrial & Retail)

      A location close to nearby businesses has many advantages, for instance, the ability to stroll to the store and pick up a few items. However, certain types of businesses may not be advantageous in the vicinity (business such as, auto body shops, banks, car dealers, convenience stores, factories, grocery stores, liquor stores, warehouses). The additional volume of people that will be attracted may result in an increased amount of crime, delays, litter, noise,
