We are close with our neighbors with exception of a guy who wants to be left alone behind us. As far as all around the neighboorhood, I got to know a lot of people, some by names, some not, by walking. I even know many of the dogs. We are lucky that our few close neighbors are the same ones who have lived here since we moved in 15 years ago. The closest house to us is currently empty while the new owners fix it up. Only time will tell how things go when a new neighbor moves in.
