The sample of nearby, thermally emitting neutron stars shows a representative view of the local neutron star population, but many of its basic properties have been difficult to pin down, in part due to a lack of reliable timing measurements. Despite their soft X-ray emission and lack of radio emission, we have made progress in recent years in phase-coherent timing of these neutron stars. By combining new, dedicated Chandra and XMM-Newton observations with archival data, we have been able to determine phase-coherent timing solutions. We now have solutions for 5 objects, giving magnetic fields of 1e13 G to 3e13 G. I will discuss some of our recent results related to understanding the overall energetics, the surface physics, and the evolution of the magnetic field.
