Do you have an insatiable curiosity about the people who live and work around you? Or are you concerned about activity that is taking place at a particular location? If so, you might want to get some information about who is residing or working at a particular address but you might not want to actually go speak with the occupants in person. For people who want to learn more about a neighbor without the neighbor knowing, the best tool is the online Reverse Address Search.

The way that it works is simple. You work with a company that has a database of individuals and businesses. You provide the address that you are concerned about to this company. They will search through the database and provide you with the name of the person who is living there. No information is passed on to the occupant so your confidentiality is kept secure.

If it turns out that you’re not able to get the information that you need from an address search, you might be able to do a phone search instead. If you have ever received a phone call from the address, you can use the phone number to search for the identity of the caller. You can search by cell phone number so one trick would be to casually ask the neighbor if you can borrow their phone and then use it to call yourself. You can even search unlisted phone numbers to find the information you need.

Just remember that curiosity killed the cat!
