We did the same JP, I have been made fun of by people on here about how close our houses are on this street. Over the last 3 years we have 12 houses on our street with 30+ kids, we are always out with our neighbors having a great time. We maintain a closed Facebook group page we post on daily. We come home from work when weather is nice pull out some chairs drink a couple of beers (wine for the women) and hang out while all the kids play around us outside. We all get together for events, we bought the Pacquiao Meryweather fight and got a projector and watched on the garage door. We recently had the kids and parents of almost every house over to watch the Super Bowl. It's just a huge potluck. We do movie nights with the projector for the kids on the garages. We Grill and Smoke massive amounts of meat and eat together in the summer. We have vacationed with some of the neighbors. Now that we know these people really well it's no big thing to have your kids there or theirs over to your place, we feed them, have sleep overs, help babysit. Man we sit around and drink and talk and laugh on Friday nights (What we have named porch nights) about what it's gonna be like on the street in 6-10 years when most of these kids will be dating each other, maybe going to school dances. Other than my wife, us building this house in Westerville has been the best decision we have made. We've had some tough times where we have had miscarriages, stillborn babies, family deaths, we all rally and help. These houses are close but we as a group are even closer. Wouldn't trade it for a million dollars honestly. I'm not religious, but most would say blessed, I'm gonna say we are lucky. We hit a different kind of lottery. So many people don't want to get to know their neighbors. Life is much better the other way around.
