Three of my adjacent four neighbors have lived here as long as I have (over 15 years) so we sort of trust each other. When I go on vacation for more than a few days I will drop off a set of keys to my house and garage with one of them to keep an eye on things. They do the same. The "new" family in the 'hood is right behind me. they moved in about a year ago. They are Hispanic from El Paso and he is a retired border patrol agent. He does BBQ in his back yard a lot, and whenever he makes something new he will bring a sampla over to my wife and I. There is no fence between our back yards, and we have discussed building a common BBQ, grilling and firepit sitting area between our yards. This could be the start of something new!
