Another thing to think about is in the newer areas, couples mostly buy. You probably won't find a lot of singles. Also the bonds and taxes are significantly higher in the newer areas.
At the end of the day, getting your neighbors to be social friends is hit-or-miss, but you will find the friends and networks you do make will be through the clubs and activities you join. And don't worry about homes without natural gas. No loss since gas is not that cheap anymore and your HVAC runs on electric using a heat pump technology. If you like cooking with gas get a convection stove. Basically the same results without the fumes, etc...
