Beyond the polite "Hey, how's it going". Close enough to hang out at each other's apartment, maybe even ask them to water your plants or feed your pet while you're away.

I live in a small building with few units. My neighbors and I get along great, although they're much more eager to socialize than I am. I don't really mind, but still.

Do you find people are less social as the size of the building increases?

I've only lived in one apartment my whole life, but I wouldn't be surprised. Less need to interact means less interaction.
