My neighbours.

I cannot really describe who my neighbours are, indications are that they are varied. My only measure are the vehicles they drive.



Most of my neighbours are professionals and semi professional, people who can very well afford to live away from the town centre. Somehow they choose to live in the town centre, cramp as it is in these apartments.
But there are also youth and students living in the apartments, measured by the number of motorcycles parked in the parking area under the apartments.

And I have seen trainee nurses living in a couple of apartments at the other corner of the complex away from my apartment.
There was even once, some apartments rented by a College in town as their place of students residential. It did not work out, these students are not the type to live in an apartments complex where good families live. The students became nuisance to the apartment community. They soon move out. They were really misfits.
Once we even had some dubious bar-girls living in our midst.
Some of the apartments are owner occupied, but many are rented out by their owners. Some rented out apartments have good (and civilized) tenants but many are rented out to youths (males and females) who do not really take care of the apartments and some do not fit into the ‘society’. Many stay out late, make engine noise at odd hours, and they soon move out when they find more suitable (to their way of thinking) houses or rooms to rent.
I have my complaints but the overall picture is that the complex is managed and tenanted by people of acceptable standard, at least for now.
