It's common in our neighborhood to say hello to people who walk by (walking their dog or pushing baby in stroller) or to a neighbor who rides his bike past you. But it doesn't go farther than that other than to say nice things about their dog or baby.
I don't know. For me---I work 40 hours a week at a Customer Service job, (I commute 30 minutes each way) I spend all day helping people--when I get home I am done talking to people! I might wave if I have to--either way, I go into my home and embrace my solitude.
We've lived in the subdivision we bought in for about 18 months. We are on a corner lot. We speak to our neighbors to the right of our home but that is it. We mind our business.
I like it that way. I have no desire to pal around with my neighbors, loan equipment, etc.
My neighbors that live in the same building are criminals so no. Can't wait until i get my own property in the country and i'll gladly have conversations with my neighbors the trees! lol
Our neighborhood is very friendly, but not in an annoying way. We have several who we can count on if there's an emergency. That's a good feeling. We'd do the same for them.
My wife and I have a Kindergartner and we socialize with the other parents in our neighborhood pretty frequently. I talk to both of my next door neighbors (who are probably both in the their late 50s/early 60s) but it's pretty run-of-the-mill stuff. I'm just happy we're on good terms - - what a nightmare it is for the people who hate their neighbors!
I'm a gregarious anti-social. That means I'll talk to anyone but I don't make close connections. Here we wave, call out greetings, even have some chit-chat. However, there are only two neighbors we've grown somewhat close to but they're part-timers while we've been living here fulltime in retirement.
There's definitely an "old guard" here of long-term residents and retirees and they're pretty secular which neither my wife nor I found attractive. Sadly, my wife passed away last week so now it's just me and the cat. I certainly don't expect an outpouring of condolences or support and that's OK. I know the word's getting around but that's all. It's a small, lakeside community of about 125 homes, most housing people who have been here a couple of decades or so. We were only here eight years so we're still the "new people" in the community and my wife was housebound for the better part of the last six years so we didn't get around or participate in community doings.
