Do you know your neighbors?

I'm not sure if it's where I've lived my whole life but no one really makes an effort to greet each other on the streets other than just a simple wave. Do you know your neighbors (i.e., you can invite them over for dinner, take vacations together, etc.)?

I live in SoCal.
 
Nope. There seems to be a universal this-is-my-bubble mentality when I meet neighbors or people on the street. Nod, cognizance of humanoid existence... moving on.
 
Not really, if I see them as I go to my car or whatever then I might wave or say hi, but I don't have them over or anything.
 

Nobody knows their neighbors anymore.....nobody goes bowling anymore....


there is a correlation in there....
 
Some of them I stop and talk to now and again, but we don't really hang out or have outings. The others just leer from their porches or yell at their screaming vermin children. I'm moving soon to a place more out in the country where I've already met the negihbors.
 
No and as long as they do not scale the fence to my property I don't have a problem with them 😉

When i lived with my parents we knew all of our neighbors.. no matter where we lived.. but not that im on my own and married.. we dont know any neighbors.
 
I know one of my neighbors better than the rest.
We have a "bartering" thing. He's a General Contractor and I'm a computer tech, so he built my deck and I built his computer and keep it up to date. I think I got the better part of the deal 🙂

We try to have a neighborhood get-together about once a year but mostly the folks in my cul-de-sac attend.

Holy crap that would be awesome....

 
I have the same kind of neighbors. Unless you say something to them first they dont say a word. Yet I know other people who are like 'Yeah we get together all the time with our neighbors'
Doesnt really bother me.
 
I only have one neighbor, but I used to hang out with them all the time when I was younger. Now I don't so much anymore that I am in college, but I always make a point to talk to them when I am home. (they are older and married with no children) But I still house sit for them when they are on vacations, and maybe once or 2x a year we do something more with them.

I'm moving in a few months to DE, and the apt complex I hope to get into I know one of the couples, but I am not sure how much interaction you see in people in the situation.
 
Yup. I know all my neighbors. I'll chat with most of them when I see them and am at least on a "Hi there." basis with the idiots (there are a few). I and a few of the younger couples in the area will throw at least one big block party on our cul-de-sac every year as well to get everybody out and meet some of the new folks that have moved in.
 
I live way, way out in the hills. If I didn't know my neighbors, I wouldn't have anyone to keep their eyes open for us. We could get cleaned out or killed and they wouldn't notice. Out here in the country, people keep to themselves, so it's taken nearly a year to meet most of our neighbors within a mile or two up and down the road. The nearest one is half a mile away, so we're not talking about very many families. Like 9.
