Of course. This is what a friendly neighbor does. Smiling at a neighbor you don't know gives that person the sense that you are approachable. Eventually, you may end up being great friends and it all started with a smile. I try to smile at everyone who passes me. Try it. If you are having a bad day and someone smiles at you, it may turn that day around. Smiles are contagious...try to catch one.

Oh I will smile anyway at anyone. I think its good to smile at people. I rather see people smile then see some grouchy looking person. And if a perfect stranger smiles at me I will smile right back at them. Have a great day and keep smiling.

Why not?! =) it's one way of making friends. Iill be more than willing to that, not just with my neighbors but also to those I bumped into as I walk around. =)

Most of the time, I will smile and greet to only the neighbours that I know in my neighbourhood. In the area that I lived, smiling and greeting is not usual but I do it since I will see them very often, I would rather have a friendly than a hostile enviornment.

I try and smile at as many people as I can when I'm travelling around - smiles cost nothing, and they do seem to give people a boost, so I'm happy to exchange smiles with people. And, amazingly enough...some of them smile back at me! The important thing is to mean it.
