Default older or new

We bought a resale in June in a very well established neighborhood. We have only met a few of the neighbors but since we already knew 9 couples who live here, it isn't an issue with us. Both of us have met new friends from the various activities we do. I think if you buy in a new neighborhood since everyone there is new you probably meet your neighbors quicker. Another factor I think is the time of year when you move here as we are starting to meet more neighbors now because people are out and about now more than in the summer.
Don't worry about meeting people, you can strike up a conversation while sitting in the square and you never know what things you may have in common. We go out on golf course as a twosome sometimes and meet lots of nice people there too, some you click with some you don't.
So, come on down!
