This thread is of interest to me because I moved into a new home a little over a week ago. My previous neighborhood was more of a blue collar crowd and was predominantly rentals. While people were not "unfriendly" they certainly did not go out of their way to say hi. The up side to this is that people left you alone and stayed out of your business.
My new neighborhood is more upscale and is dominated by retired or nearly retired folks. People have certainly been very friendly but they are perhaps a little "too" interested in my business. All in all, especially with young daughters in the house I think I prefer the new neighborhood but it does have its drawbacks.
