Overall it's a nice website. I'm not too keen on some of the political views I read. Sometimes it feels like I'm looking at Facebook. I do like the free/pay for good feature as well as successful reunions of last pets.

Representing itself as a neighborhood forum, Nextdoor is actually a right-wing political forum - lots of disrespectful sniping, insulting, and Republicans in general ramming their opinions down their neighbors' throats.

Nextdoor
May 28, 2021

The Nextdoor organization is very helpful to keep us in touch with our neighborhood and those surrounding areas that touch our neighborhood. We have reunited lost pets and their owners, learned about crime and those who are doing both good and bad things. We find businesses to help with our homes and property, and just help our neighbors in many ways. I recommend it highly! Angel S.

Informative
May 19, 2019

Neighbors talking to each other and learning from those around them is a great thing. After a widow asked for help finding a trustworthy plumber to fix her sink, multiple neighbors offered help for free. That's the way it should be.

This nextdoor site is wonderful. We are able to read notices from our friends and neighbors. There are inquiries and recommendations for services as well as lost pets and "heads up" notices about closed streets, upcoming social events and garage sales.

This site sucks
March 15, 2018

Pretty much the other 700 reviews said it all. Run by idiots that block u in a heartbeat if your opinion isnt the same as theirs. In my case, the people are morons, so my opinions never were like theirs. If I took the chance to challenge them, no matter how politely they all attacked like a lack of rabid rats.
Dont even attempt this horrible site. The only thing I learned was where all the morons lived as they show the addresses... and that everyone in this area is a racist bigot. Wish I could give it negative stars...

I have been an integral and huge contributor to Next Door. A person who was squatting in one of our rentals reported my name on the web site claiming it was fake. It was a nick name. I reported the problem but I am still disabled and she can do what she wants while she squats! No response!

Violates civil rights
October 23, 2019

Im a senior... With my life experience in community work for County and State and l offer information and references. Haters do not like the truth report and lve been suspended several times. Nextdoor has become a hater site and no longer targets legitimate home owners. They can kiss my dairy aire! My neighborhood gained a angel watching out for us and haters attacked him and he was suspended also. I can only imagine he prevented haters from coming into our neighborhood to steal.

I am very pleased with Nextdoor as it keeps me updated on what's going on in our neighborhoods. I acquired two delightful kittens because of Nextdoor. I hear about events that are coming up. Sometimes the posts are not pleasant (e.g., deaths, burglaries), but keeps us aware and safety conscious.

Thought this could be a useful way to get in better contact with neighbors. But it's not really that useful--the info shared is about who's a good plumber, etc., which can be found on other sites, and there's a lot of space devoted to lost pets. And some neighbors are definitely not worth knowing. I was just insulted for simply asking what the point of a mostly negative discussion was, and was insulted by the poster, the Lead in charge of discussions, and others. Sheez! Don't need that kind of aggravation.

Nextdoor evaluation survey
June 27, 2019

Too many "I lost my pet" postings. I suppose if I lost control of my pet I might want help. I don't have a Facebook account so don't participate on social media.
It also appears as though several members fail to look at the contractor listings to find a recommended contractor. I'm a contractor and wish there was a way I could provide my own listing of the services I provide.

Racist plus no value
September 28, 2021

If you are looking to get to know your neighbors, don't bother, because this site won't help you get to know a single one. I am Asian, and my one post about safety and being sexually harassed by a white male in my neighborhood was taken down amidst severe backlash. I wonder if a white woman's post would have received the same treatment. I don't want to meet these racist neighbors.

Mostly Good
July 18, 2019

I like Nextdoor when people actually share information, incidents, lost or found pets, etc. But when some people attack other posters, it turns me off and I usually delete the entire conversation. I wish people could be kinder to each other.

I Like Being in Touch
July 29, 2019

Knowing what's going on with the people around me is satisfying. I've had nothing but positive experiences. However, it does bother me to see someone abusing their opportunity for expression. It's always nice to see those posts stopped.
We NEED some way to communicate within our neighborhoods. This is it.

This is the most toxic social media site I have ever been on. And that's saying a lot since I have a Facebook account. I was completely unprepared for the rampant trolls and bullies on Nextdoor. The idea is sound but somehow doesn't work AT ALL to foster community. I began to hate my town and finally had to deactivate my account. It was a horror show from start to finish.

Marginal interest at service that purports to be non politics but in fact attracts fringe elements. The monitors add in fact can also driven tin hat people that harass anyone they wish, masters of theveiled threats and innuendo. Apparently they are allowed to pass out false legal advice and get away with it.
They allow privacy in asking and no one seems to care.

Once they have your personal information, Nextdoor doesn't care if you have a good experience. Local admins or "leads" can kick you off without giving you a reason. Nextdoor does not respond to messages about power abuse from their admins and as a result passively encourages bullying behavior. Once they have somebody in charge, Nextdoor just wipes their hands and moves on. There seems to be no training, reporting or regulations required to be a "lead." These leads allow others with the same views to gang up and abuse those with different viewpoints. They don't even have to identify themselves so you don't know who you need to report.

These annoying ignorant people are always whining about the city of Mountain View building more apartments. They don't care about the big picture but only about traffic. I quit this site in a spergy rage.

Leftist cabal
September 23, 2020

We have a separate group from the general forum Idaho for Trump. It's design was for people of common values to talk without offending the others. The the leftist cabal started to monitor our discussions and say thing to bait us to respond so that numerous people in the cabal could file complaints against us and get us banished. I used my time Off to raise $4000 for the Trump re-election campaign. ND admin seems to favor the leftists and will drop you without explanation. We are looking for a better site to comminucate because this one is totally screwed up.

An update to my previous review
August 19, 2019
Updated review

Just an update to my review... I've come to realize that ND is kind of a risky website to take part in. They require your real name so there's no anonymity. Increasingly, there are more and more arguments and insults and complaints and people getting all worked up. And some people are breaking the rules and not using their real name, so they have anonymity, but I don't. I no longer feel safe posting anything that even might possibly offend someone in some way unintentionally. I don't feel like I can be relaxed on ND and I have to watch everything I say/write very carefully because it would be very easy for someone to find me and do whatever (assault, kill, vandalize, harass, etc.). I've had 2 instances where for some reason I was singled out and personally attacked (directly named and specifically insulted in the threads) and it really put the fear into me. I had done nothing wrong. ND did not use to be like this a few years ago.

Great website and concept but needs to be improved
July 20, 2019
Previous review

I've noticed that each person has a neighborhood map based on their address. That person can only see posts from others who live in that neighborhood area. But I saw that the county (local gov't organization) joined ND and posted... and they were able to get replies from all over the county, not just a handful of neighborhoods around their physical address. In the cases of missing pets or humans or natural disasters or whatever... we should be able to reach large areas like that. ND is too restrictive when it comes to who can access posts depending on where they live. My friend lives about 4 miles away in the same town as me with the same zip code, but we can't see each others posts because for some reason we're not in the same "neighborhood" on ND. Whereas my parents live about 8 miles away in the next city/town over with a different zip code and for some reason they ARE in my "neighborhood" and we can see each others posts. It makes no sense, and sometimes it's very frustrating.
Also, there should be an option to attach photos when private messaging someone.
