From One Neighbor to Another

Hi, I’m Dom.

Back in 2018, I packed up my life and moved to a new state to start a future with my fiancée. We bought a house, got married, and over the next few whirlwind years - welcoming three kids during COVID and moving again within the same town - I realized I was missing something important: real, local friendships. The kind where you can hang out spontaneously and lose track of time together.

Between work, raising a family, and simply not having an easy way to meet people nearby, making meaningful connections felt like a shot in the dark. The biggest challenge? The uncertainty. With limited free time, what were the chances I’d just happen to find someone nearby I really clicked with—let alone a few of them?

I’d catch myself wondering:

• Is there anyone within walking distance who loves the same music and is in the same stage of life?

• How would I even reach out to that person without it feeling awkward?

• And honestly… how do I avoid the folks I don’t click with?

That’s why I started NeighborQuad—not just as an app, but as an experiment. I have a hunch I’m not the only one feeling this way, and I want to find out what it takes to make local friendship feel natural again.

This project is about exploring whether it’s possible to meet the right people nearby - easily, safely, and without all the guesswork. If you’ve ever wished for that, I’d love to hear your story.

Let’s rethink what it means to truly live where you reside.
