Hopefully a nicer living situation will help. The best rental properties go word of mouth and you just have to get lucky sometimes. One of my neighbors is getting relocated and keeping their house until they come back some time in the future (probably 10 years or so). I have until the end of next Summer to “pick my new neighbors” as tenants. The house is original owner occupied and thus has never been rented out. It will be a real plum for whomever gets it.
As for the church, do they have social events outside of Sunday services. Ours has a program that puts families with similar aged children into small social circles. We get together at least once a month if not more. Sometimes it’s a park or legoland with the kids, sometimes it’s a poker night for the guys or a Girl’s Night Out, A Sunday Brunch, celebrating the birth of a child or whatever. It has been wonderful for our family to have a different kind of connection than we share with the large circle of friends/neighbors that we have built otherwise.
