Just get to know your neighbors and make an effort to spend time with them, even if it's just a 15 minute chat after work. I've made the effort and am now on weekly hanging out terms with nearly 20 people in my neighborhood. And that's literally just the people within a short bike ride of my place.

All the neighbors are working and few are open to socializing. People are way too busy nowadays.

I've found that "busy" people aren't often actually as busy as they say. What it really means is that they don't prioritize you in their life.

If someone is interested in doing something, they find a way. The trick is to find the people that are actually interested in being part of your life.
