We first bought a new cottage in a new neighborhood. Second house was a preowned designer in an established neighborhood. Made friends in both neighborhoods so we didn't find much difference in ease of making friends. First house we bought was too small for us (1500 sf ) when we became full timers. Second house is just over 1900 sf but boy what a difference those few extra sq ft made. Ironically, the first home we bought had a big (by TV standards) lot, but we enjoy much more privacy at our current home, even though we have a kissing lanai because of how it is landscaped
