We live, we learn, we adapt.
Far as neighbors we've been lucky. Our previous home, in New York we had the neighbors from hell. we bought new. I wanted a resale wife wanted new so that is why we bought new.
If I was buying a resale, I would surely want to meet the neighbors and ask people who live there what is going on. Brokers are sales people they are not likely to tell you renters have destroyed the quality of life unless the buyer is planing on renting the home.
