Everything above and I will add- if you involve yourself, people will welcome you. When I moved here, I got involved in my local Democratic town committee and after a bit was invited out with the larger group. I know my neighbors the same way everyone else does in CT, but when I had a pet sitter over the holidays and I couldn’t reach her, my neighbor quickly responded to my text and was able to confirm that she had seen her with my dogs. I’ve been happy here.
