Users are able to customize their profile, view both a member and pet directory, and the accounts of public agencies. Nextdoor has 10 million users in over 100,000 neighborhoods (Popper). One of those 100,000 happens to be the Holly Orchard neighborhood in Lake Oswego, Oregon, and to me, home.

Nextdoor states that “We created this company because we believe that the neighborhood is one of the most important and useful communities in a person's life,” (Nextdoor : About Us) and they use their services as an online community to bring real people together and promote happy and connected living environments. I am glad to know that in a highly digital and more isolated age, this app will continue to bring people together and preserve the spirit of my neighborhood which has always been so special to me.
