We are moving from Boston to Chicago in 2 wks, and last night the hubs and I were discussing whether or not we would become friendly with our new neighbors.

We're friendly with our current neighbors but were wondering if it's more a function of people in condo buildings tending to be more open than in rentals? I've lived in rental buildings in NYC and Boston, and have never gotten to know my neighbors until we bought our condo.

How about you? Are you friendly with your neighbors, and do you own or rent? And where? We're wondering if people in the midwest really ARE friendlier
