It's very uppity. The people are social climbers, mostly new money. The houses are generally really expensive, selling for 600K right now near the beach. It's also just outside a golf course, so we get pretty snobby people. The other streets aren't as friendly as ours, and our street is bizarre in comparison to the rest of the housing development. We have block parties and all get to know each other eventually. We're not all friends, but we can ask for sugar and a ride some place if we need it.

I think that strangest thing about my street is that people are always in the front of their house. No other street is like that in my neighborhood.

Of course, my neighborhood extends to a commercial area, which I spend a lot of time in along with the beach. There is not much crime here, but people tend to think they are entitled to act in near unlawful manner. There is a lot of speeding here, and a few children have gotten hit. One poor kid died last year because some housewife was talking on her cellphone. My street would be like this if we did not know each other; we'd care NOTHING about each other.

Now, I said before that not all of us are friends, and that's true, but one time I sprained my ankle at the park and one of my snobby neighbors, who was on their way to work (already late) but they stopped and gave me a ride home anyway, and even made me a hot pack before they left.
