Nextdoor

Local community app

Nextdoor is a social networking platform organized by neighborhood, where users connect with nearby residents to share local information—lost pets, crime reports, recommendations for contractors, items for sale.

The platform requires address verification, limiting membership to actual neighbors.

Like other hyperlocal forums, Nextdoor has a reputation for petty disputes and racial profiling complaints: The Nextdoor drama is better than reality TV.
