moving into neighborhoods
I've moved 22 times as an adult - wait, now make that 23 with hopefully my last move here.
It IS easier to make friends in a new neighborhood but like Kentucky said, make the effort. In TV, with most being retired, people just have more time to be friendly, plus I think TV attracts joiners/doers anyway, compared to some other retirement areas.
I also learned to knock on doors BEFORE making the offer in an older neighborhood - you can just get either a good or not so good feeling. Come 2 or 3 different times during the day and early evening and also talk to who's out and about in addition to knocking on doors. Ask about if the area has neighborhood get-togethers, activities such as informal golf leagues, occasional scrambles, etc.
