Lucky you! Bill
Bill, for sure, some neighbourhoods are much friendlier than others. We've had lots of new people moving into our six-year old neighborhood, and they're always appreciative of a warm welcome. Our neighborhood also has street parties, weekly golf games, etc. We even have a group of pet owners that meet up every night so the dogs can socialize! We moved to a our current house from an older CYV area and those neighbours were very congenial also.

We find that we tend to hang out more with friends than neighbours. Friends that we've met through clubs, the dog park, totv, special interests like mahjong, motorcycles, etc.

As a rule, I find Village people are incredibly friendly. Most have moved "from away" themselves and welcome new faces. It's hard to go to the pool or out to dinner without making new friends. It's all good.
