I think your neighborhood is more typical than you think. A lot of neighbors are somewhat shy and "keep to themselves". But they are friendly if you make the first move.

All my friends have come from people I've met at the neighborhood pool or several clubs I've joined.
You have to get out and join activities to meet people with similiar interests, they won't come knocking on your door.

I agree that it does take a little effort to meet new friends. And you won't become BFFs with everyone you meet.
As Shimpy said, they won't come knocking on your door (usually).
But if you are open and welcoming, soon you will have many wonderful new friends.
It's nice to bond with people who are the same age and experiencing the same challenges and joys as you are.
