Re: How important is getting along with your neighbors
I think it sounds like some people have been less than warm and there are some annoying neighbors, but if it were me, that wouldn't make me want to leave. I think it's nice to be on good (or at least civil) terms with your neighbors, but you don't need to be good friends with them, you know? And your kids don't need to play with every kid on the block. Plus, I think it's too soon to tell how things will develop with your neighbors.
Are your kids in school yet? It sounds like no, because you said they are very young. So that's another thing -- once they start going to school, you will meet other parents in the area and build connections in the neighborhood and ties to the community (beyond your block).
Also, neighbors can move in and out at any time, and the whole "feel" of the block can change. And there's no guarantee that anywhere you move will be better in terms of neighborliness. You can try to investigate an area and talk to neighbors before you buy a house, but realistically, I don't think you can really know how you will get along with people (and the intangible vibe of an area -- cliquey or not, etc.) until you move in.
If you are happy with your house, town, school district, I wouldn't move. But hope things get better for you as time goes on!

Re: How important is getting along with your neighbors
Thank you Century 21 Dallow - Christine Braun.
This is exactly how I feel. I think once they go to school it will get better. Yes, you buy into a neighborhood, but individual neighbors don't necessarily have to be the nicest people. If it were up to most of mine, they would have interviewed us before we could buy the house - LOL.
