next-door neighbor

[Abstract Idea]

I would like to know if the expression 'next-door neighbor' is used for both apartments and houses or only apartments.

By 'next-door neighbor' one means only that neighbor from the side apartment and/or house or for example a neighbor who lives in front of him?

If a person leaves two (or more) houses far from you, can he/she also be considered a 'next-door neighbor'? I don't think so.

What about if the next house is far, like for example in the country - is the expression 'next-door neighbor' still used?

both

Yes, and

I would replace 'in front of' with 'opposite':

There's a huge bin in front of the house.
(the bin is on the same side of the road as the bank)
There's a bus stop opposite the school.
(the bus stop is on the other side of the road from the school).

Nope

What about if the next house is far, like for example in the country - is the expression 'next-door neighbor' still used?
I don't think so.

If I am not mistaken.

From the Thesaurus:

Next door
adv.
To or in the adjacent house, building, apartment, or room

Ymniski, have you seen "The girl next door" (2004)?
The Girl Next Door (2004)

Hmm, ok. So even adjacent room could be considered next-door.

But adjacent building ? Isn't that too far? I guess this should be used only for small buildings, no?

I haven't seen that movie. Sounds interesting. Have you watched it?
I will look for it. Thanks for the tip.

Precisely

yes, adjacent building, by building, I guess, it means a house, any structure for human habitation. But, in this particular case, the neighbours would be right ... next-door.

Yes, it's fun and funny.

If you say "next-door neighbor", you mean someone who lives next to you. This can apply to a street or inside an apartment building or condomiums. You can say "neighbor" for someone who lives close by in the same neighborhood.

Ok, but when you say "next to" you mean at the same side of the street?
My neighbor who lives in front of me is my next-door neighbor ?

Your neighbor who lives in front of you is your neighbor, but not your next-door niegbor. The phrase "next-door neighbor" literally means "the next door".

A neighbor who lives in front of you is a neighbor, but not your next-door neighbor. In fact, you can think of everyone who lives on your street as a neighbor, but you only have two next-door neighbors - the one to your right and the one to your left.

By the way, instead of saying "the neighbor who lives in front of me", we say "across the street from".

I know Joe and his family very well. He's lived across the street from me for ten years now.

Or you could say, "I've lived across the street from him for ten years".
