Making friends with neighbors can be different. You almost always have to actively take steps to get to know one another. Starting a friendship might be as simple as knocking on the door and introducing yourself as a new neighbor or it might take a little more to win them over- a freshly baked cake on a holiday or in invitation to dinner. There is no guarantee that you’ll actually like your neighbors or that they’ll like you. Beyond living on the same street you could have nothing in common and live by completely different philosophies. In that case, both parties will probably have to put some real effort into being friends.
