In my experience, really good friendships can take time to develop. We have lived many places and had wonderful neighbors, but they were not necessarily our best friends. I may be different, but I value the quality of relationships over the quantity. We are looking forward to our first visit to the villages in November as we are considering moving back to the US. Anyone else out there who has lived in Mexico and then moved to the Villages?
