Tips for Getting to Know Your New Neighbors in San Diego

Published: November 01, 2022

Getting to know the people who live near you is key to feeling at home in any location. Here are some tips from UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of San Diego on how to break the ice and get to know them better.

• Introduce yourself! A simple “Hi, I’m _____” can go a long way.
• Inquire about their passions and hobbies. What do they like to do in their free time?
• Talk about your own interests and hobbies. It’s a great way to find common ground.
• Ask about their family. Do they have kids? Pets?
• Share a little bit about your own family.
• Invite them over for a cup of coffee or a drink. Getting to know someone in person is always preferable.

Get to know your neighbors by hosting a block party or potluck. This will let you introduce yourselves in a friendlier, less formal setting. You could also join a club or organization to meet people with similar interests while also giving back on a personal level.

Knowing your neighbors is key, and the internet provides one of the most seamless ways to do so. Nowadays, many communities have Facebook groups or forums that are specific to neighborhoods where residents can share information or ask questions.

Don’t write off your new neighbors before getting to know them! It might take some investment, but forming relationships with the people who live near you can result in having great friends for years to come. Give others a chance and see how strong of bonds you can form by learning about the people around you.
