neighbourly
Kind to locals
Neighbourly describes behavior characteristic of a good neighbor—friendly, helpful, and considerate toward those who live nearby.
A neighbourly person might bring over a casserole when someone moves in, shovel a walkway, or simply wave hello: It was neighbourly of them to watch the house while we were away.
The spelling is British; Americans write neighborly.
