Sadly, my neighborhood has become like that. Grew up here and moved back after my folks died. I still have a few high school buddies and ex-coworker friends in the general area but my neighbors are essentially all strangers now. The family across the street had been there 17 years, a 97 year old and her daughter, we became good friends, they sold and moved last month. That sucked. The new owners haven't moved in yet but are ~35 and seem nice.
Sounds quite similar to my neighborhood. I even have the approx. 35 couple that seems nice - They're the latest and actually haven't moved in yet either - doing renos. And in that regard, I'm impressed - most of the younger people are preserving the historic architecture. Al the homes here are more than a hundred years old. In the last year, the last of the first and second generation families in the houses have died.
Same here. The new couple said they want to preserve the character of the old New England farmhouse and barn circa ~1890. Good thing they are young and full of energy.
