What will the neighbors think?
If you're a "What will the neighbors think?" type of person, what the neighbors eventually think is that you're a "What will the neighbors think?" neighbor. Then they begin to scrutinize you.
Now, people live on the same street for years & remain mysteries to each other. "They seemed like a normal family."
If you want to be really strange, plant sunflowers & a few stalks of corn in front of your house. But keep the lawn mowed & be completely inoffensive.

Waiting outside earlier for weekly ride to supermarket, about ten attractive young women walked past in a matter of minutes. A group of three, then two, then one, then another one .... At that point, my old friend Jim would have remarked, "Rix, you have some fine-looking women in the neighborhood."
