But, I also have some guys from the gym I see.
I moved to a place after college I never thought I’d live and knew no one.
My wife and I joined a golf club and a racquet club over the past five years. We’ve met some people were friendly with, but really the majority of the friends I/we’ve made came from our neighborhood. We recently moved, but not far away, and still see our friends regularly.
The bigger issue you may encounter, since you’re 29, may be finding friends that aren’t chasing their kids around. That’s kind of what we’ve been dealing with now. We just had our first and a lot of our friends are on their second so finding the time to go out is more difficult. It’s turned into - come over for drinks before/after feeding babies. But, I’m sure once our kids get older together we’ll get back to normal.
Hit up a few local bars, invite some of your younger neighbors over for a beer, help out in the community and you’ll be just fine.
All the best

Thanks, that is helpful. I agree, all my friends we did have went from being down to go have steaks/drinks/cigars anytime to pretty much just being with their kids 24/7 (which is understandable certainly, but just sucks for me).
