How to make friends? Try one of the following:

Organize a neighborhood party – Volunteer to be a host or organizer of a neighborhood barbeque, get everyone to bring a plate and drinks, and let the mingling begin.

Create a social sporting tournament - Next to hosting a food-based event, sports have an uncanny ability to bring people together.

Say hello - Make yourself known. There’s nothing like a friendly smile and a welcoming handshake to initiate a friendship, and the same goes for your neighbors.
