Screenwriter Barbara Curry, who was a criminal lawyer for ten years, revealed that she created the script's original concept after running past a house which she described as her "dream house". A "bad boy" her son went to school with resided in the house across the street, which gave her a "really interesting" concept about a neighborhood boy creating conflict and "driving a wedge between a family". This served as her inspiration for the screenplay. Curry stated that the "first few drafts of [the movie] focused on a 12-year-old boy and a mother's trial of trying to get her son out of this boy's clutches, and gradually, it became something else".

In the original script, Claire was "happily married", but Curry chose to have her separated due to her husband's infidelity, so that she could be a "more sympathetic character". Curry was influenced by the real-life story of Mary Kay Letourneau, a teacher who became involved with her underage student, causing her to be convicted for rape charges. Director Rob Cohen revealed that in Curry's draft, the character of Noah was younger, but he made the conscious decision to age him to 19, because he felt as if it was "not healthy" and that audiences would lose sympathy for the protagonist.

Explaining her character, Lopez stated that Claire was feeling "worthless" after her husband cheated, and "People can understand that. They can understand making a mistake in a moment like that." "The Boy Next Door"s plot has been compared to the thriller films "Basic Instinct" (1992) and "Swimfan" (2002), while being dubbed "the "Fatal Attraction" of 2015".

Subsequent printings were branded only "JP Miller's Days of Wine and Roses" without an explicit by-line for the novel itself. This novelization was followed by another in 1970, adapting the screenplay for "The People Next Door", published by Dell Books. And once again, no author is given direct attribution for the prose; the cover says, "JP Miller's penetrating story of teenagers on drugs and parents on trial"; and the title page says only that the book is "based on the original story [sic] by JP Miller," with his name positioned to imply authorship. As the writing style is much the same, it's probably safe to assume that Westheimer (at Miller's invitation) was the novelizer here too.

The Family Next Door (1912 film) | Introduction
Jahnson pitched his script to producer Miguel Tejada-Flores of independent film company the Vista Organization as "punk rockers out in the wilds of Wyoming", which Tejada-Flores thought was an interesting idea, though a bit "out there" conceptually. He and fellow producer Herb Jaffe sought Ridley Scott to direct, but could not agree with him on the film's "vision". Penelope Spheeris first read the script in March 1986 and expressed interest. Tejada-Flores had been impressed by her previous directorial work, particularly her 1985 film "The Boys Next Door", and felt that she could tell an enthralling story from the mix of genres present in Jahnson's script.
