Envy [souls] (nprofileβ¦mc87) :goodGirl: little elf princess (nprofileβ¦6yd3) hello I am probably aro-spec and ace-spec and in my early 50s. At one stage a few years ago I lived in university housing. This was an ideal combo of living alone and having neighbours who would drop by to watch movies or study (studying chinese medicine so study involved swapping acupuncture sessions). But its harder to find good neighbours and visitors as you get older. I am currently in the process of trying to buy an apartment. Not sure there will be much of a community nearby where I can afford. But roof overhead is priority! Last apartment I owned the neighbours were antisocial. Many would not even say hi back if you said hi passing in the hallway. But slowly over time different ppl moved in and it got a bit more sociable. One neighbour got a cat and used to work from home in the hallway so his cat could roam. This encouraged neighbours to socialise. So I wouod say choose a neighbourhood where people are outgoing and maybe 'trendy' over a neighbourhood where demographics is rightwing. If your finances allow a choice! Friends become busier and more distant as ppl age, that is hard to get around. Friends who don't plan on having kids are more likely to have time to visit or hang out π
