[quote=Anonymous]Do you live on houses with big lots? We lived further out for a while and houses were somewhat spaced apart. There was an HOA run mostly by older neighbors. Everyone had a garage to drive in and out of, so we didn’t see neighbors for long stretches of time if they never came out front. I think people who seek out that type of neighborhood are the keep to themselves type. Which is fine, it works for some. But now we live close-in on a small lot. Many older homes don’t have garages (and people often walk/take transit to get places), so we see neighbors all the time. People hang out on their front porches and are out gardening, walking dogs, bike riding, etc. There are parks and trails just a few blocks away. We also lucked out with tons of elementary kids on our street so our kids have made some close friends. No HOA for what that is worth. If this is something important to you, I think you need to find a neighborhood where people don’t mind being a bit closer to each other space-wise. My friends in townhome communities also seem to have lots of kids playing together. [/quote]
