    Introducing Faves: Harnessing the Collective Wisdom of Your Neighborhood

    We've all been there — searching for the perfect plumber after a leak, hunting for a reliable babysitter, or trying to find a restaurant for a special occasion. In these moments, the most valuable recommendations often come from the people who know your neighborhood best: your neighbors.

    As part of our most significant evolution in Nextdoor's history, we're reimagining how neighbors share and discover local recommendations with a Faves, an AI powered feature designed to surface the collective wisdom of your neighbors.

    Turning 14 Years of Neighborhood Conversations into Recommendations

    Neighbors have shared recommendations on Nextdoor from the very beginning. Now we're using AI to turn those 14 years of conversations into a powerful recommendation engine called Nextdoor Faves. This technology helps surface insights from neighbors about everything from local services to community hot spots.

    Meet the new Nextdoor Faves

     Here's what makes it special:

    1. Community-Powered: Recommendations come from real neighbors who understand your area, not anonymous online reviewers. Only Nextdoor can do this well!
    2. AI-Summarized: Our technology analyzes years of neighborhood discussions to surface insights about local favorites and answer common questions before you even ask.
    3. Pre-Answered Questions: Find the best parks, restaurants, and services in your area based on what neighbors have already discovered and shared.

    When Neighbors Start Talking, Good Things Happen

    The collective wisdom of your community is a powerful resource. On Nextdoor, we believe that when neighbors start talking, good things happen. Our evolving platform is designed to facilitate these valuable conversations and make their insights more accessible than ever through the essential neighborhood network.

    Whether you're new to a neighborhood or have lived there for decades, Nextdoor's collection of neighbor recommendations help you tap into local knowledge that might otherwise remain hidden. The restaurant that doesn't advertise but serves the best pizza in town? The handyman who's a neighborhood legend? The hidden park perfect for picnics? These gems are now easier to discover through the power of neighbor recommendations.

    Join the Conversation

    The new Nextdoor Faves makes it easier to discover local gems and share your own recommendations. Whether you're new to the neighborhood or a longtime resident, tap into the knowledge that helps turn here into home.

    Because when neighbors start talking, here becomes home.

    Nextdoor neighbors will need to update their app to experience the New Nextdoor. Download or update the new Nextdoor app today on the Apple App store, Google Play store, or visit us online.
