[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you can guess quite a bit about how friendly and social a neighborhood is ahead of time.  For example, if there are sidewalks and people walking and biking a lot, you tend to run into neighbors more often.  Similarly, if there are ¼ acre or ½ acre lots it's more likely to be social than a neighborhood with 1 acre lots and very high end homes.  Do you see any kids playing in the yards?  Is anyone doing their own yard work and gardening?  Stop and talk to some people and ask them if there are neighborhood parties, book clubs, Halloween parades, etc.  You can learn a lot.[/quote]

If that is what you want. I looked at a neighborhood that was just like that, and I could tell that everybody was into everyone else' business -- I was looking at a house, didn't want to talk, and I thought, this neighborhood has too much buzz for me. I like the neighbors to keep a distance. Some people are like that.[/quote]

Actually, the neighborhoods with sidewalks have been the nicest for me.  But then, the houses were all built at the same time and there were no overcompensating half arse additions, so it worked.

There are plenty of neighborhoods that are close, but the people have class, and MYOB.  Its not exactly classy, independent of money, to be in other people's business.

ITA there is nothing like a new house to set off the old house owners, especially if they are not stable to begin with.
