Wouldn't it be easier to just knock on their door and introduce yourself?

Would Bill have known that Sandy was kicking him out?

Does not work with all addresses. Way off on my address.

Looks like we've got 6 people in our CYV!! T

The previous owner, myself and the wife - twice each, along with her mother too ....yikes --

Other oddities: My phone isn't listed, though I have a listed phone.

When my father died, I had his mail sent here. He is listed as living here, though nothing with his name is linked to this address except mail.

As someone else said, wonder what the criteria are.

Or invest in a pair of good binoculars.....

For my address in suburban Chicago, it lists 3 other people living at my address plus me (don't know who these people are -- I've lived here since 1998). Maybe the cat let them in. Kitty and I will have a talk about letting strangers into the house. These 3 better start ponying up for the mortgage, property taxes and utilities.

For my sister's address in suburban Cincy - it lists her, her husband and their 10 yr. old daughter -- how did a child's name end up on this directory? Scary.

Glad I have an unpublished phone number.

Interesting website, but this confirms that there's no such thing as privacy.

Easily find out who your neighbors or someone else's neighbors are!

Enter your address and up comes a map of your area and a list of all neighbors and their phone numbers.

Ownership of properties is a public record. If you go down to your local tax board, it's easy to find out who owns the houses in your neighborhood. As far as the phone numbers...if the number is listed it's available for anyone. When I put my address in, I got a google picture of our neighborhood. There are also reverse area phone books..that's how we realtors used to cold call people (hey, I didn't like it either!!!) Right now I have access to information showing the owners of almost any home in Michigan, this list also shows any mortgages, sale prices and tax information. As I said, it's all a matter of public record.

That cute bag boy at the Publix can now get my phone number and call me?

[buggyone]

I went to the White Pages site and took my name off the listing.

Last year, I wanted to research how much each person on my street was paying in property taxes (you can do that in Cook County, IL if you know the address of the home). All of the townhouses in my subdivision are the same size, so all owners who occupy their homes (not those who rent their homes to tenants) should be paying exactly the same in property taxes with the exception of owners over 64 who get a senior citizen exemption saving about those owners approx. $300 per year in taxes. There were several people on my street who were landlords, renting out their townhouses. I discovered one owner on my street actually lives in The Villages. Small world.

I still would like to know how a child's name (my niece) ends up on the listings for her parent's address. I don't think my sister and her husband have her listed on the mortgage...

This is great information. We are seasonal residents and sometimes forget a name or telephone number. But at the same time, it's scary to have that information out there, in a format so accessible. I sorta feel like I should shower wearing a rain coat.
