I agree with the D'dog...that a peaceful coexistence is desirable--especially since a lasting friendship seems unlikely. Then you can tell her you're at least trying. (But if you show reasonableness and she says it's "not good enough," then SHE's the one who's unreasonable.) I also doubt that you are the only one in the complex with the problem. And as such, maybe your HOA can offer suggestions? I'll bet there are things that can be done--with varying levels of expense and intrusiveness (and effectiveness!) Even LOW-density living doesn't guarantee that one will like their neighbors--or that neighbors won't be annoying. I knew someone on 16 acres once who hated their neighbors. At least you're showing that you're reasonable and trying. I'd be curious if the HOA can offer any help. Best of luck,
