Buying a new home and not knowing your neighbours

[Alex_angel]

Why is it that builders will not let you know anything about what your potential future neighbours until you buy a home and move in?

When you buy a resale home you know who your neighbours are. You can look next door and see if they have six dogs, if they belong to the hells angels or if they have kids.

With a new home, they don’t tell you a thing. You basically won’t know who your neighbours are until you move in and then it might be too late.

What if the person that bought the new home next door was a dog breeder and has 4 dogs that bark all night, or you are the only family in the cul-de-sac that has kids. I find it odd at how the builder will not tell you a thing about the neighbours.

Is there some sort of law that forbids them from doing this?

Information is a weapon, the builder uses it accordingly. Plus there might be some fair housing act legislation that prohibits that sort of behavior.

Look at the people in the marketing materials, they are always beautiful, eat nothing but wine and the best cheese, have that glow of being gloriouosly happy as if they just made sweet love(or are planning to), in a quiet sort of way so as not to disturb the neighbors. Why are the builders going to go to the trouble to present an image like that and then undo it by saying sale of the mcshitbox next to yours was actually to group of four families who plan on sharing it? They might slip up and say the race of those four families and all hell will break loose.
