I’ll keep this short, as the title says it all. I live in a quaint neighborhood, but all our houses were built about 10 ft from each other. My neighbors son/grandson, his girlfriend and their friends will have people over to drink and smoke outside and aren’t very quiet about it. Their porch is right outside my bedroom window and I’m a light sleeper so I hear everything. They kept me up until 3:30 am last night. Between my boyfriend and I, we have asked them almost 6 times in the past few months to please be quiet after 10pm. I get up for work @6am and my boyfriend gets up @7am. I’ve asked nicely and now I’m kind of done being nice. What do I do?

I am not some old grump, I am still in my 20s but I own my own home and I’m proud of it. I moved into a nice neighborhood where families are outside playing in the street, doing lawn work, walking their dogs, etc. it’s a quaint neighborhood. Except for my next door neighbors. I am not entirely sure the dynamic here but I see about 10 different “kids” walk in and out of that house throughout the week. I don’t actually know who owns the home or what’s going on in that house. I know for sure there’s a couple dogs that someone owns that stays there often enough to leave it outside barking until midnight sometimes even 2 am. Our homes are close enough that my bedroom windows back up to their backyard fence and close to their front porch. So I can hear everything. I hear the dog barking for hours straight, poor thing is probably so stressed. And I hear the parties. I can hear the 15people sitting on the front porch yelling and playing music at 2am on a MONDAY NIGHT while they smoke weed and stand around in the porch/driveway and street. I’ve gone outside twice in the past two weeks (11:30 pm on a Wednesday and 3am on a Monday) to tell them to stop yelling or put the dog inside. I’d say these kids are probably 18-22 at the most. I don’t know if they’re somehow renting this home, or the poor older lady I’ve seen every once and awhile is just being take advantage of or doesn’t care in the slightest. I have no idea what to do other than act like a Karen. I get up @6am for work and don’t feel like being kept up til 3am on a Monday.
