Exactly, many neighborhoods today aren't even very conducive to visiting a neighbor. We are fortunate to live in a place where the homes are very close together and can be accessed without crossing busy streets. we have several neighbors with similarly aged kids and they can go play with each other all the time. personally, I would love to move to an estate property with a private fence and gate. but I really love that my kids can have some independence moving between the homes and playing nearby in the neighborhood.
