We all loved the quiet on our street enjoy the closeness of our neighborhood, and the block parties in the driveways.
Then at 6 months, 8 houses down a guy with a passion for woodworking moved in.
Staring at 5am, till sometimes midnight, it was like living in a commercial zone. Not only the noise, but friends over to use the equipment.
Neighbors politely asked to keep noise at reasonable hours, then community watch, then houses on both sides, and across the street went up for sale. So the quiet neighborhood you move into can change overnight

You can't pick your family...or your neighbors.
You can only hope that both...are reasonably palatable.
At least with the latter...you can do something about.
