Think Rubicon summed it up well. Buy the house you want. Initially, friends usually come from your neighborhood (at least in the newer villages) but that quickly changes as you find your own activities. Before you buy, you might want to talk to a neighbor or two and find out if your street is friendly and does things together on occasion (if this is important to you).
