From everything I can gather (I’m a renter) my neighbors really like us a lot. We are always invited to the annual rib-cook off/drunken bash. They appreciate that we at least keep the front respectable (our backyard is a little bit of a kid jungle). Most seem to really dislike our landlords and basically consider them cheap-wads who won’t fix anything.
One even confronted the owner about his no-dog policy and chewed him out. “These are the best renters you’ve ever had and all the previous ones had a dog”. 3 years there now. In fact most try to get us to buy when one of the local homes goes into foreclosure, but I always decline.. Naah too soon.
Alcohol was definitely a big factor in getting to meet some of them as standing outside on a friday having some beers is a great conversation starter.
