Core values


  • Invest in community
  • Put our members first
  • Be a good neighbor
  • Communicate openly
  • Act like an owner


Our manifesto


  • We are for neighbors
  • For neighborhood barbecues. For multi-family garage sales. For trick-or-treating
  • We're for slowing down, children at play.
  • We're for sharing a common hedge and an awesome babysitter.
  • We're for neighborhood watch. Emergency response. And for just keeping an eye
    out for a lost cat.
  • We believe waving hello to the new neighbor says, “Welcome” better than any doormat.
  • We believe technology is a powerful tool for making neighborhoods stronger, safer places
    to call home.
  • We're all about online chats that lead to more clothesline chats.
  • We believe fences are sometimes necessary, but online privacy is always necessary.
  • We believe strong neighborhoods not only improve our property value, they improve
    each one of our lives.
  • We believe that amazing things can happen by just talking with the people next door.
  • We are Nextdoor. We are simply you and your neighbors, together.

  • We never share your info with advertisers.
