> I think it's certainly possibly to establish such relationships with neighbours today, though it's hugely luck of the draw It's something that is often critized as ghettoization, but that's why I think it's important to pick a neighborhood where you will find like minded-people. Usually it comes naturally as you're guided by your budget, and will naturally like the same neighborhood as your peers, but it can be tempting to get a bigger house for the same budget in a "less fancy" neighborhood that you would match better for you. Also, it depends on the country but it's important to pick a neighborhood where you'll be confident to send your kids to the local public school instead of having them go to a school further away. This way you ensure your kids live close to their friends.
