Much is made of moving into an established neighborhood and it being too cliquish etc., but I don't think that is really the case. From my perspective, my neighbors (and us) have settled into a normal way of living. We don't pop in and out of each others homes, but we all know each other and are there to help when needed. I got a call at 3:00am one night when my neighbor had to call 911 and he wanted someone to let the dog out in the morning! Now that is being a good neighbor. I am more friendly with some of my neighbors than others, simply because we seem to have more in common with some than others.
Ask yourself this - when you were younger and raising a family would you have been concerned about how friendly the neighborhood was? In my case, NO. We would find a home in an area we liked and live in it. If we were compatible with the neighbors that was an additional plus. We have met many people here who have become good friends and we socialize at their home or ours. Give it time, everything always works out one way or the other.
