MartyRR - Have you tried throwing a driveway party for the neighbors? We did it when we moved in and it got some of the real homebodies out of their houses. Wound up that we were not the only folks who did not know others on their own street! We provided beer, wine [in the box!], ice, red solo cups, chips and pretzels. When someone asked what they could bring we suggested a chair and anything else they might like! We also invited the 3 neighbors to the rear of our house just so they didn't hafta wonder what they were missing!
Just pick a date, make up a cute flyer introducing yourself and hand them out door to door - easy peasy! I found the toughest part was getting up the courage to do it! Once done - there was no turning back and it was a nice event.
