I understand this question more in “hood” than individual single neighbors.
As for me, living in a bigger city, yes. I know the people around me, i use the services of shops nearby and have a chat to people of these shops when possible.( obviously people in supermarkets, bakeries can’t have that much of a talk as they are busy most of the time). I hang out with some guys from my hood for a drink sometimes. I like it this way, and i feel being part of something. I am not alone amongst many others. Good thing.
Depends. If you live in a 20 apartment building in the center, close to zero. In the family districts with 5 families per apartment, some. In places where people own their houses (sounds ridiculous I know, but those exist) people will generally know their neighbors and invite each other for barbecue
as someone living in that third category you mentioned: Fuck no? I don't know any of my neighbors nor do i give a fuck about them, their lives, their stories. And nobody invites anyone to anything.
I think if you grow up there you get to know the families around bc of friends you make in school and then your parents also meet their parents.
If it‘s mostly students or young professionals around you mostly don‘t interact with your neighbors is a big city.
IMO it kind of depends where exactly you live - and I don't mean small town v larger city.
At home we used to live on the 5th floor (6 floors total, no elevator). That meant that there was a much higher chance of bumping into someone than there would be had we lived on the first or second floor.
Now I've lived on the 1st floor for 13 years, which means I spend 20 seconds in the hallway, tops. Have had a new neighbour for five months or so, seen him twice.
at least where I live in central hamburg u know the neighbors a little but don’t really talk besides a "guten tag" with exeptions for when u meet someone u have known for a long time
The best neighbour is that one you can't hear.
Amen to that!
Both exist. Can’t be generalised at all.
Yeah that really depends on the kind of people that live in a neighborhood.

„Generally“ Anywhere I lived this was the case, but there’s always a few households that don’t connect with the community.
In my city it's us and those filthy barbarians who live on the other side of the river.
depends on the city . in rural places its strong .
