I introduce myself and welcome them to the neighborhood. Bring a plate of cookies or muffins and don't overstay my first visit.
Offer any assistance you can and leave your phone number.
Welcome Wagons are nice, contact them too!

Having established a new Home Owners' Association in our Neighborhood, we are puttung together "Welcome" baskets for our new neighbors. The baskets include homemade cookies free coupons from some of the neighbors, and information about the neighborhood and annual events. When I moved into this neighborhood, one of the neighbors brought me a bottle of wine and another a cake. I was more than impressed and felt very welcome! I think that is a really good idea.

I live in an apartment building and get new neighbors all the time. We meet and greet in the elevator or when entering and leaving the apartment. Some become chatting acquaintances, while most just stay at the nodding or "good day" stage.
Moving to a new neighborhood - some have welcome wagons, others no. You have to gauge your reaction to that of others there.

If I had moved to a different neighborhood,I would make the effort to meet the new neighbors by having a bar-b- que and invite everyone.

When you get new neighbors, bake Toll House cookies and take them over. The traditional housewarming gift is bread and salt, but I believe chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven is tastier.
If you are the new neighbor, invite everyone in for a get to know each other potluck; they may not know each other! Do what feels right!

The first thing I would do is to check out the Megan's Law website, and see if anyone turns up.
Sounds negative I'm sure, but am I sure glad I did. It turns out the right next door, 30 feet away, lives a repeat sexual abuser of children.
If no one showed up on the sight, I would play it by ear.

I mind my business. If our homes are close enough that we can see each other when we're outside in our yards, I'll wave to show that I'm friendly from a distance. I don't like meddling neighbors, but I would want my neighbor to know that if I saw someone trying to break in their home or do them harm, I would call law enforcement.

Find out what they did for fun first. Find out how many times the police had to go into the neighborhood, before moving in.
