Neighbor resentment for renting in "A" neighborhood?

I will be renting out my SFR that I have lived in for the last 3 years. It is in an "A" neighborhood, and anticipate my current neighbors won't be thrilled. There aren't many renters in the area, and while we all know many great renters that would give you the shirt off their backs, there is a negative stereotype about renters that exists.

While there is nothing they can do legally, I like my neighbors, want to have a good relationship with them (they have my number, and would likely text me if the renters are causing havoc, for both their benefit and mine).

Have any of you experienced this, or have any tips on how to "break" the news?

Also, do you typically give your number out to the neighbors of where you have your home for such instances?  I'm assuming you're more likely to do so in a A or B than C or D.  Thanks!

Are you friends with them?  If not, just live your life..its is not their concern.  People rent for all reasons, and it is not always negative. I wouldn't worry about it.  Do your own thing. If it is chaos, you will get a call.  Check on your home yourself from time to time.
