We are seasonal residents. We've owned a courtyard villa, and more recently, a Jasmine. In both neighbourhoods, some residents were full time and others were seasonal. We enjoy spending the winter months in TV, and the summer months at a lake cottage. We have a great homewatch service during the months we're not in residence.

As far as friendliness goes, you get back what you put out. It's that simple. Most Villages or streets have a regularly scheduled neighbourhood party. Often a driveway party. It's a great time to meet your neighbours.

If you want friends, you'll have lots of opportunities. If you take a walk around the block or go to the pool for a swim, you'll probably make a new friend!
