What is Nextdoor?
Nextdoor is the private social network for you, your neighbors and your community. It's the easiest way for you and your neighbors to talk online and make all of your lives better in the real world. And it's free.
What can you do on Nextdoor?
On Nextdoor, members can:
Share local recommendations with ratings (plumbers, auto mechanics, babysitters, etc.)
Sell or give away household items.
Publicize local events.
Exchange information about crime and safety issues.
Find and communicate with neighbors in the resident directory.

Privacy
Fences are sometimes necessary. But online privacy is always necessary. Nextdoor makes it safe to share online the kinds of things you'd be okay sharing with your neighbors in person.
Here's how:
Every neighbor must verify their address.
Every neighbor signs in with their real name. Just like in person.
Your website is protected with a password and is encrypted with HTTPS.
Your personal information is never share with advertisers.
How is Nextdoor different from Facebook Groups, Yahoo Groups and Google Groups?
Address verification to help ensure that the people on Nextdoor are really your neighbors.
A neighborhood directory, built on top of real profile pages, making it possible to get to know your neighbors (as well as having a dynamically updated directory of contact info).
The ability to communicate with people who live near you, but outside the neighborhood through the Nearby Neighborhoods feature, as well as the ability to create public and private groups (sub-groups) within the neighborhood.
Members control their email settings based on the types of messages they want to receive.
An Urgent Alerts feature, which makes it possible to blast out urgent information (emergency, crime, etc.) by text message as well as email.
Recommendations by category making it much easier to browse and find information.
Event features with the ability to indicate who is planning to go.
A For Sale and Free category which makes this kind of exchange easier and more efficient than a purely message based solution.
A dedicated Crime and Safety section.
