This is very much like my experience. I moved into my now-husband's apartment in 2016. He was already very friendly with lots of his neighbors, and we are now a fairly tight group of friends. This intensified during lockdown, which we spent in a bubble of 8 people, helping each other out with cooking, shopping, and so on. In 2021 a friend who lived on the other side of town moved into the building to join us in the Castle of Friendship.
We eat with at least one of our neighbours probably 3 nights a week. We watch each other's pets, and go in to close windows if it rains unexpectedly. When I cut myself badly on a kitchen knife a few weeks ago, someone came round immediately to bandage me up. I regularly let myself into someone else's place and get work done on his couch when I need a break from my husband - we both work from home.

I basically never plan to move.
