neighbourliness
Friendly local relations
Neighbourliness is the quality of being friendly, helpful, and considerate toward those who live nearby.
It suggests small acts of community—lending tools, checking on the elderly, keeping noise down: The neighbourliness of the village made newcomers feel welcome.
The word implies mutual goodwill rather than mere proximity.
