That's so true. I So Cal. Very few of my neighbors are social.

Kristin, I just counted eight neighbors on my block who I met liked and found a house here.  And some of them told friends in their old condo buildings who moved up.  It makes things lots of fun.

Kristin, how great for you!  Love the new picture too.

LOL @ Shirley!!!

Kristin, it's always fun when you get to learn a little something about your new neighbors before they even move in.  I've had that chance 3 times now on my own little block!

Hi, Kristin... You can remove my previous comment if you would like...

How cool is that?  I love my neighbors!

Hi again, KM, We have wonderful neighbors.  One neighbor often has a kind of open house with food in his driveway, especially on Saturday or Sunday evenings.  Everyone's invited.

Hi Kristin, It's nice when you can have good neighbors. We've lived in our neighborhood for about a year and still don't know many people--although we did move into the same neighborhood as our best friends so that is great. 

Have a great weekend,

Anne Rains

Howdy Kristin! 

I live in a market that is predominately military.  If they are not active duty, they are here because someone they love is or they work as contractors on the base.  It is so important for us to know our neighbors because we are constantly watching eachothers homes.  Since we do not live close to family, our friends and neighbors take their place.  We are constantly leaving to go see family or soldiers are gone on deployments and we have to rely on eachother for help.  I have not sold anyone a home in my neighborhood yet but I do know my neighbors well. 

Congratulations to Paul & Emily Carbajal for having such a neat neighbor! 

What a great story! I love getting to know my neighbors and I am usually pretty lucky with that!  My favorite neighbors were three houses ago and my neighbors came over with home made brownies and welcomed us to the neighborhood with a party! It was the best!

We don't have close neighbors since our home is n almost five acres but know allot of people and they always honk when they go down the main road. We do have one neighbor that we know and we put up a gate so we can go back and forth to visit. We do a soup thing, when they fix soup they send some over and we do the same. We help each other whenever we have a project going and need an extra set of hands. Don't know many of the others they seem to come and go, sell and resell and too far to really get to know.

Kristin - That's pretty cool!  It's great that you know your neighbors.  I need to get outside more...  :)
