We have some awesome tenants in our neighborhood. It's mostly owner-occupied but there are a decent chunk of rentals. Most of them I don't know at all, some of them I know and get along with fine, and a couple who I would consider "neighbor-friends" - the ones who are invited to each others' driveway parties, visited when we're outside, help out when a hand is needed, know about the cousin having gall bladder surgery, etc.
Most of our owner-occupied residents are terrific as well. Sadly, there's one neighbor who most of us wished WAS a tenant - because that'd mean they'd eventually be outta there. Alas - we're stuck with them for an indefinite period, because they own the house and don't seem interested in moving any time soon.
