There are some nice designer homes near us at which the owners have a smaller patio dining table and chairs in the alcove of the front door area or the platform beside the front door. I see some of them talking to neighbors at their table/chairs or just chairs out front.
I think it's a matter of "build it and they'll come" (or put it there and they'll come). It might depend on the neighborliness of the neighborhood. Neighboring is contagious if somebody gets the ball rolling.
