friendly neighbors
Welcoming people nearby
Friendly neighbors are people living near you who maintain warm, cordial relations—greeting each other, offering help, perhaps sharing tools or keeping an eye on packages.
The phrase often appears in real estate listings and community descriptions to suggest a welcoming environment: It's a quiet street with friendly neighbors.
The concept sits at the heart of idealized suburban and small-town life.
