Keep in mind that you may get some new neighbors and until you meet them and live next to them a while, you won't know if they are good or bad.
Some Amish communities are bad all together because of the attitude of their leadership. Others are great neighbors with high standards of honesty and reason.
Just like "English" some will use every swindle and angle to abuse the law. We had a large group of Thai who moved in near us in Olympia WA. A church member of ours lived across the street from them. Anything left out in the yard ended up in their garage. If the car was left unlocked, it was rifled through. They all spoke very understandable English until the police showed up. When the neighbors complained to the health board about 14 people living in a three bedroom house, nothing was ever done. (You try that.) When the neighbor's barn and chicken shed "caught fire" and eye witnesses saw the kids set it, no charges were filed. Towards the end of that summer, police tracked down an infamous multiple gang member wanted for a mass murder of six restaurant workers in Tacoma. He was being harbored in that community.
Now these were Thai, not Amish. Not all Thai are bad but these were. Similar stories can be found regarding Russian, Mexican, Native American, Vietnamese... the list goes on. Even born and raised Americans do these things.
I try to treat each person as an individual and keep their heritage out of it. Sometimes a community attitude makes that difficult.
