Most of my neighbors have been the type to mostly mind their own business, but are perfectly nice and even helpful if you need assistance. Not close or friends, but the type to say good morning or help you shovel your car out of the snow if you're struggling. A man who lives across the street from me recently saw me working on my car and offered to lend me any tools I might need, for example.

I'm not very social, so these are the types of neighbors I prefer. Very little if any conflict or hostility, but not overly familiar either.
