When you move into a new area you are part of a group that is all relatively new and everyone is building a sense of community together. Therefore, I believe people are more open to friendships, etc. We retired in 2019 in our early 60's and moved into an established area N. of 44 where most residents are in their 70's and have their friends and activities. I reached out and invited neighbors over for game nights, meals, etc. but never got a return invite. We have seen drive way get togethers but we haven't been invited and don't recognize anyone. Most of my friends live south in Fenny, Marsh Bend and Linden. I believe that is because they all retired in 2019 or 2020 moved to TV and were open to new friendships. The people in my neighborhood are nice and say hello if they see us but we haven't been invited to activities with any of them. I like living north because of the shopping and the landscape is nicely developed but for a newer retiree I feel it can be a little isolating your first year until you go to activities on a regular basis and meet people who are open to new friendships.
