FYI -- I live in a very well-established neighborhood. It definitely took me longer to get to know my neighbors, but get to know them I did. A group of us go to dinner on Saturday and then take turns going to each others' homes for games. I've been asked to fill in for pickleball and golf but had to decline since I play neither game and really have no desire to learn either of them.

Personally, I think it is up to the person to find their niche. Mine is games -- card, board, trivia, I don't care, I love them all. For a friend of mine, it is cooking -- her group takes turns cooking weekly. For others it is golf or tennis or pickleball. For many, it is spiritual. The point is, you'll find your way if you're friendly, open and a decent person. Most TVers are very accepting and, if you find your neighborhood isn't, you can always join the TOTV gang.
