neighbours
Those living beside
Neighbours is the plural of neighbour, people who live nearby—typically next door or in the same area: We invited the neighbours over for dinner.
The word extends to anything adjacent: France and Germany are neighbours.
Good neighbours are friendly and helpful; bad ones cause problems.
To neighbour is to border or be adjacent.
This is the British spelling; Americans write neighbors.
