How do you know the next neighborhood will be different?  Will you talk with all the neighbors first?[/quote]

OP here.  This is what my husband says.  The next neighborhood could be the same or worse.  He doesn't want to take the risk of moving.  I wouldn't say I'm miserable here but definitely unhappy and feel that the beautiful house/yard isn't worth the stress/lack of community of living here.  While the other neighbors are inconsiderate and rude, I can handle that.  However, things would be better if bully neighbor next door wasn't constantly staring at us in a creepy way and spreading slander/gossip about us.  Why is she doing this?  Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? [/quote]

Host a neighborhood BBQ this spring.  Bake cookies and bring them to all of your neighbor (even the mean one). Help shovel your neighbor's driveway. Don't wait for them to come to you- you go to them.  You need to create community- if just doesn't happen magically. The next time a new neighbor moves in- go over and knock and bring more cookies- invite them to dinner that night or weekend.  "Would you like to come over for dinner, I know how hard it is to get a kitchen up and ready on moving day/week."  Then, invite more of the neighbors over.  It takes work and not just one offs. Host a weekly Friday night pizza party at your house.  You can make pizza's cheaply- very cheaply.  Have people bring salads and desert after the first one.

Or you can whine and whine and whine.  Your choice. [/quote]
