Shelly Powell+FollowMount Vernon home turns into neighborhood headacheA house on Thurmond Ave. in Mount Vernon Villas has quickly become the talk of the neighborhood for all the wrong reasons. After the homeowner passed away, the property—tied up in a reverse mortgage—has fallen into disrepair, with dead grass, overgrowth, and mold taking over. Neighbors are frustrated, especially seeing family members visit but not pitch in to clean up. The CDD 5 board is stepping in, giving the family a week to fix things before fines and liens start piling up. How should communities handle situations like this when a home falls through the cracks? #RealEstate #MountVernonVillas #NeighborhoodWatch00Share

Matthew Jackson+FollowIs Your Block Turning Into a Rental Row?Ever notice more 'For Rent' signs popping up, or the same property management trucks cruising your street?

If you spot these clues, it could be time to rethink your next move—whether that's buying, renting, or just keeping an eye on your home's value. #RealEstateTips #NeighborhoodWatch #MoneyMoves #RentalMarket #HomeownerHacks #RealEstate00Share

rebeccastein+FollowSaw a Kid Alone After Dark—Worried!Just got home and noticed a little kid sitting by themselves on the curb, way after sunset. It honestly made my heart sink a bit. I kept looking around for an adult but didn’t see anyone nearby. I remember being told not to talk to strangers as a kid, but I couldn’t just walk by, you know? I asked if they were okay and they said they were waiting for their mom, but it was already so late. I stayed nearby until I saw an adult come up, but it still left me uneasy. I hope they got home safe. It’s just wild how much you worry about other people’s kids when you get older. Anyone else ever run into something like this? #NeighborhoodWatch #StaySafe #CommunityCare #Parenting582Share
Rodney Valentine+FollowWait, Why Is This "Safe" Area On the Map So Red?!I was looking at a crime map, and it was honestly shocking. The greener areas are safer, but then I noticed a big red zone in the middle of a place like Dublin that feels super safe. 😳 Why is that? It definitely threw me off. For anyone else who's checked these maps, what’s your experience? Which ZIP codes do you feel have the best or worst safety? I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you've seen any surprises like this! #SafetyFirst #CrimeMap #NeighborhoodWatch40Share
